Beat LA?

Excuse me? Did I hear that right? I know that Phillie isn't known as a city full of innovators, or anything, but seriously?!? Has it gotten so bad that Philadelphia fans have to steal chants from one of the shittiest teams in baseball (the San Francisco Giants)?

Beat LA?

Fuck you Phillie.

EDIT [10/11/08]:

I talked to my Dad after the game and complained about the "Beat LA" chant. He corrected me on this one, so I want to revise my earlier comments.

Apparently, the Beat LA chant originated in the '60s or '70s on the East Coast. He thinks it might have come from Celtics/Lakers games, or possibly 76ers/Lakers games. The chant came West from there, and was eventually adopted by the Suck Francisco Giants.

Which brings the Giants to an entirely new low in my mind. So for the record, the Giants bit off the Dodgers in 1958 and followed the innovative Walter O'Mally and his Brooklyn Dodgers club to the West Coast. And THEN they bit off of East Coast basketball teams for their mindless, idiotic chant?!? (To say nothing about how they almost single handedly ruined baseball by harboring Juicer #1 for over a decade!) Unbelievable. Only the Giants could be that lame.
