Mets Take Shot At Philly Fans
Quote:
Reyes, who writhed on the ground in pain for several moments, said he blacked out briefly but convinced the Mets to let him stay in the game.
"We live in a culture where the fans are that way, where they love to hate," Randolph said yesterday. "It's just sad, it really is. The guy could have really been hurt. But we've seen that before. It's a weird culture we live in."
Wagner, a former Phillie, who is booed every time he pitches here, was even more critical of the fans in a city that once cheered former Dallas Cowboy Michael Irvin's career-ending neck injury.
"It's really sad when humanity comes to the point where somebody getting hurt is fun to watch," Wagner said. "That just tells you where our society is. This is about the only place I've seen that. Shoot, they booed Santa Claus. They've taken this to a whole new level when you're cheering for somebody to get hurt."
For his part, Reyes shrugged off the incident. "I didn't pay any attention to that," he said of the cheers.
