[RBA]

"PHILADELPHIA - Risking life and limb, I marched into Citizens Bank Park wearing Mets regalia Friday and loudly chanted the three words that drive every Phillies fan insane: "LET'S GO METS."

When a Phillies security guard wearing a Phillies World Series Ring took a half swing at me mid-Mets chant, I knew this was truly hostile territory.

Can't say I agree with the attitude of the security guard, but I can't say I'm a big fan of a so-called "journalist" walking around trying to stir up trouble with an opposing team's fans. It's one thing to report on the news or write commentary on the news, it's another thing to go out and try to create it.

Remember, it's the New York Daily News. They're going for the huge headlines: MAYHEM RIOTING! in mega bold print. Hopefully with the broken and beaten reporter in full glory on the cover page.
