For what it's Werth...

Written by Benny B. | 13 July 2010

I missed a lot of opportunities to Phillie bash while I was away, but I don't want to let this one slide:

Jayson Werth was caught on camera cursing out a Phillie fan while his son looks on in stunned disbelief.  Now, there will be a lot of "heat of the moment"defenses.  But you know what, Werth should know better.  That's foul territory my friend--outside the boundaries of fair play.  That's something that every player has to deal with.  When a player dives into the stands and crashes into a fan, does the fan start cursing out the player?  No, they are usually applauded for their hustle.  Maybe the father was distracted by looking out for his Son's well being?  Maybe he's never gotten a foul ball in his life (I never have).  Either way, what Werth did was wrong...and as he was walking back to his position, apparently he didn't dish out enough embarrassment for that father because he kept jawing in his direction.

I never thought I would ever say this, but I truly feel bad for that Phillie fan.   Perhaps Werth knows this is his final year as a Phillie and doesn't give a rat's ass for his home fans.  One thing is for sure, if that was me, while I would feel bad that my team didn't get the out that maybe would have been caught, the Player who cursed me out in front of my son would have gotten a piece of my mind.  You suck Werth.  Maybe if you didn't have such a disgusting scraggly beard weighing you down, your would have gotten there earlier and made the play.  Don't blame the fans.

UPDATE:

Speaking of indiscretions by Werth, there is a rumor going around that he banged Cole Hamels Chase Utley's wife.  That could explain some of the disharmony....
