Ryan Madson's Wife Hates Phillies Fans

It's easy to take shots at Philadelphia sports fans as being a vile and heartless group when you don't live there. It's a lot harder when your husband makes his living there.

Which is why Sarah Madson (wife of Phillies pitcher Ryan) should get some sort of honor for having the courage (?) to speak her mind about Phillies Fan during a recent charity event.

"I hate the fans. It is bad enough that they bother us during the season, but they will not leave us alone in December when we go out to eat. We stayed here during the off season last year, but we will be going to California this year. There must be something particularly bad about Phillies fans because all the players leave in the off season."

It's bad enough that she doesn't even hedge her distaste for the fans, but then she tries to drag the other players under the bus as well? You've gotta wonder how well that's going to go over in the locker room. With the roster the Phils run out on a daily basis, the pressure of winning a World Series is already great enough. If the fans start believing the players don't actually like being there, well...good luck.

Besides, Philly can't be all that bad. If you ask Cliff Lee's wife, it beats the heck out of New York.

Wednesday's Birthday Shout-Out: John Kruk Goes "Eastbound and Down"

Sure, John Kruk still wears a solid face full of scruff when you see him on Baseball Tonight. But he's downright baby-faced compared to how he looked as the ringleader of the 1993 National League champion Philadelphia Phillies.

That, of course, was the same year that Kruk has his infamous (and hilarious) All-Star at-bat against Randy Johnson. But Kruk's hilarity continued off the baseball diamond. Rocking a look that would later become a staple of the Kenny Powers Collection, Kruk became a favorite guest of David Letterman.

In this interview, he gave some answers that would be right at home in an episode of Eastbound and Down. The only difference being that Kenny Powers might have spiced them up with a few well-placed expletives and an off-color joke about Canadians.

But who knows? Maybe Kruk has his own line of self-help tapes floating around somewhere?
