Not really much to discuss on a night where the Phillies Lose and the Mets fail to capitalize by losing in extra innings to the Reds.  So, lets all simply take pleasure in this Phillie fan's pain:

A picture is worth a 1000 words, but I think we can all agree that at this moment, this guy has come to the realization that deciding to run onto the field was a lot funnier in theory than in practice.  DON'T TASE ME

(MIKE): I enjoy how this kid is getting a full-fledged victim spotlight in the media today.  Since when do you get the benefit of the doubt when you run onto the field during a sporting event?  It's not like the cop shot him with a real gun or gave him a rubber bullet to the head (ala The Last Castle).  Just because he looks like a harmless college dope, doesn't mean he doesn't have something crazy/damaging in mind.  You run on the field, you get tased, end of story.  Isn't the point to deter more people doing it?  Well, tase-ing every idiot who runs on the field certainly will do so.

Let's stop babying the situation and act like this kid is a victim.  I'm sure he'll end up suing and that security guard/cop will lose his job -- all because an idiot thought it'd be funny to make him chase him all around the field.  I guess we'll all feel stupid when a player gets killed by a lunatic who didn't get shot by the taser guy.  Then we'll start rubber bulleting people with snipers.  And I don't want to hear about people dying from being tased in the past -- if you are pregnant, have a heart condition, or are susceptible to death by taser, then stay in your damn seat.

I like the message sent -- run on the field and get smoked.  What a shot to nail him on the sprint and give him a face full of grass.  Exceptional.

(ERICA): I've got to disagree with you on this one Mike.

I'm not justifying what this little 17-year-old jerk did in any way, but a taser? Seriously?

First of all, he is a scrawny little boy. Yeah, he's a stupid kid, but he's still a kid. What is he really going to do? Does running around with a towel really merit electrocution? Second of all, where is he possibly going to go that requires a taser? If you can't tell, he's surrounded by security on a field surround by walls. There is no way he wasn't getting at least arrested. Whipping out the de-masculator that is a taser gun was completely unnecessary. I gotta say, from a girl's point of view, there is nothing more embarrassingly unattractive than Mr. Rent-a-cop using his minimal powers for no reason at all.

I just think the whole thing was pretty much pointless and stupid. They should have escorted the the dumb kid off the field and kept going with the game. Could have avoided a whole big situation!
