The Fightins are currently in a tight game against the Baltimore Orioles down at Citizens Bank Park, and pictures of a Phillies fan wearing a middle finger mask have started circulating across social media.

I know this is going against “popular opinion” on social media right now but this dude is the worst. Maybe I’m just mad watching the Phillies lose 5 of 6 games and what seems like another loss tonight? Regardless, you can bitch and complain in the comments about this all you want. Don’t care.

Phillies Fan Wears a Middle Finger Mask at Citizens Bank Park

The Phillies are a half game out of a postseason spot and playing game two of three against the best team in the American League, and this guy wants to show up tonight and make it all about himself?

No thank you.

NL Wild Card Entering Tonight’s Phillies vs Orioles Game

I would honestly take the kid who was wearing a Harper jersey and Orioles hat last night over this guy any day of the week.

To make matters worse, he’s literally trying to start the wave, which is absolutely horrendous behavior in a 2-1 ball game at Citizens Bank Park while it’s already being overrun by Baltimore Orioles fans.

Not to mention, the Phillies can’t buy a hit right now and desperately need a win tonight.

Side Note: The Wave is the worst thing in all of baseball. It’s even worse when it happens during a close baseball game in late July when the Phillies desperately need to get back on track. The only acceptable version of the wave would be the Dollar Dog Wave where everyone is tossing around hot dogs like a bunch of psychopaths. No further comments at this time.

Point being, it’s not even August 1st and we have fans out there acting like the sky is falling, failing to realize this shit happens every single year with pretty much every team across Major League Baseball.

Losing streaks, slumps, whatever are a part of the game. Maybe this guy should focus on that instead of embarrassing himself on a Tuesday night at the ballpark? That seems like a better option.

OH! As I’m writing this Bryce Harper just hit a game-tying solo home run. Go figure.

What happens now, mask guy?

Does the mask come off since the Phillies are back in the game? Are you going down to the official team store and buying a Bryce Harper jersey or hanging tight in that disgusting Kruk shirsey and smelly finger mask until Matt Strahm comes back into the ball game and blows this game?

I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
