Congrats to the Phillies. Great season, great championship.

Now, please please please go out and sign Manny. Not that I wish your team bad at all, but if he hated Boston, Philly will make his head explode.

Way to go Phillies! Now MLB should strip the team of its win due to the damage caused by its "fans". No win, no asterisk. Just a simple note in the record books that "no world series trophy was presented this year".

Isn't the US the most litigous country on the planet? Should these car owners, business owners, and the city itself be suing the team (and perhaps MLB itself) for damages? Isn't the American way to sue everyone and eventually someone with deep pockets pays?

I know MLB would never strip a title because of this but they should. And so should the NHL and any other league where the fans go on a destructive rampage because of some silly piece of metal.

For the Phillies fans on here - doesn't the actions of those so-called "fans" anger you and make you feel disgraced?

okay. all done. let the flaming begin.

No they shouldn't, don't be so naive. This happens in most cities when championships are won.

Neither MLB nor the Phillies caused damage. Drunk fans did. (These fans being probably less than 3% of the total fan base.) While you're trying to make a case, why not sue the Philadelphia Police Dept. for not having adequate coverage at every possible location?

Weird statement. What's next... a post about Obama being a terrorist? LOL.

No. Damage was expected. It is unfortunate that some businesses and cars suffered damage, but hey, file your insurance claim and move on with it.
