1.5 million ppl

some of them bound to puke on themselves in public

just before i left i saw two, count em two, men, separated by several hours, hard on the nod at the same corner (berks and front); the first was pulling his pants down in suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper slow motion, like maybe he wanted to take a poo poo? before he passed out, slumped over on the sidewalk, his pants around his ankles, his head between his knees; the second was standing, bent partway over, almost certainly asleep or anyway just barely conscious enough to stay standing

so i think someone must have been selling some really strong dope very close nearby and letting people shoot up on the spot, then letting them wander out into the street where they kinda got stuck

lol if you think these people don't live everywhere. I'm in the suburbs and there's three homeless camps nearby. I've met a tweaker in rural Oregon who lived in a truck & panned for gold when he wasn't stealing from other goldminers. They're everywhere.

One day nearer spring
Philadelphia sports fans are a tough crowd

quote:

by Dana Pennett, Daily News Sports Writer
POSTED: August 11, 1999
The Phillies won the game.

Mark McGwire had to leave it.

No one will remember either of those things.

Instead, last night's Phillies-Cardinals matchup at Veterans Stadium will be remembered as the baseball game where an Eagles game broke out.

With McGwire making but one plate appearance before taking a seat to tend to his always-troublesome back, the game turned into a one-trick pony. J.D. Drew, the pony who is more akin to another member of the equine family in the minds of most Philadelphia denizens, got his first start in the city he spurned and the fans got their first chance at a public flogging.

Happy most of the night with just good-natured booing, some fans turned ugly in the eighth with the home team turning in a lackluster performance and trailing by two runs. Two batteries were hurles in Drew's direction and the outfield was littered with debris until St. Louis manager Tony La Russa pulled his entire outfield during a pitching change. La Russa held his outfielders in the dugout five minutes until public-address announcer Dan Baker, under direction from the umpires, said the game would be forfeited if fans continued to throw things onto the field.

"Someone threw a roll of paper and then I saw a battery come out," said second base umpire Ed Montague, adding that he confiscated two D-sized batteries. "Once that happens, it takes the fun out of the game. It could kill someone from that height."


The incident incited the Cardinals, particularly La Russa, who said afterward, "I hope that precedent is set. If someone throws batteries, the Phillies lose."

It also embarrassed the Phillies, who were delighted to see a crowd of 48,514, the third-largest of the season.

"If that hits one of the players, there's no telling what kind of damage it does," said Ron Gant, whose three-run double in the Phillies' five-run eighth sparked a 7-5 victory, but was overshadowed by the Energizer assault. "Someone would surely go to the hospital. That's just a disgrace."

When the game ended, Phillies manager Terry Francona apologized to St. Louis trainer Barry Weinberg, figuring La Russa would be in no mood to talk. Francona hoped to apologize to La Russa in person today.

"It's just disappointing," Francona said. "We get a huge crowd, very vocal, and then you get a couple of dummies who mess it up for everybody. We all have different opinions on J.D. Drew, but no matter what they are, that shouldn't happen to anybody."

Surprisingly, the only person who seemed relatively unfazed by the incident was Drew. He gamely trotted back out to centerfield after the announcement - and before his fellow outfielders took the field.

"I heard some rumors around that they do that every now and then," he said of the batteries. "I was hoping in the back of my mind that it wouldn't get to that, but a couple of them came down. I think the umpires did a good job in the way they handled it."


And from the onion:
