This is how Philly treats its own

I actually take a little offense to that.

For starters, the title of the video is "Ray's fan takes bottle to head" when there is no evidence in the video of his team affiliation. Nor is there any evidence that the video is even from the events of last night.

I have many many friends who were in the city until well after 2 am when they started to clear the streets.  There were unfortunately some isolated incidents (a car got flipped, and several windows were broken), but overall given that well over 100,000 people were on Broad Street alone ...

I honestly think that unfortunately no matter what city you're in, there are jackasses who do the dumbest things.  From everything that I have heard from people who were actually there, the vast majority of the people were in good spirits and well behaved.  There was alot of hugging and cheering and alot of celebration.  Philadelphia police overlooked several laws and only stepped in occasionally.  Fireworks were widespread and bonfires in the streets. 

I myself took part in some small celebration with my neighbors, as we all poured out of our apartments to stand in the cold weather and celebrate (even the Indians were there) just as Brad Lidge threw the last slider.

Instead of people looking for the little bits of bad which always exists regardless of where you are, people should be proud.  We've won our first championship in any major sport in 25 years.  Our first World Series in 28 years.  A great many of the people in the streets were not even old enough to remember the last time Philadelphia has won a championship.  I myself only remember the '93 World Series.

There is no doubt that Philly has some of the most passionate sports fans in the world.  Unfortunately because of this we sometimes get out of hand, but last night was not one of those times.

I think it was a Philly fan. No Rays fan with half a brain would climb a pole in the middle of a crowd.

Now shut up and give me a couch to burn...

Broad and Pattison is where they expect you to believe the video was taken.  Although I doubt the heavy police presence would have let the guy get that far up to begin with.  I really don't think the video is really from last night.
