Jay Bruce on career-long quest to demolish Phillies

I’m not sure which one it was, but The Good Phight supreme blogstress Liz Roscher and I attended one of the last three games of the Phillies’ 2016 season at Citizens Bank Park. As fate would shove down our throats have it, the Mets happened to be mounting an attempt to clinch a wild-card spot while the Phillies were continuing an attempt to survive.

In any case, Jay Bruce was there, as were hundreds of blue-clad, raucously ignorant, wrong-humans called "Mets fans." They strike, like a virus, when your favorite team is at its most vulnerable, infiltrating your stadium and growing only grosser and more noticeable as a game goes on.
