Karen Boone Wants To Talk To A Manager Over Phillies Fans Blowing Air Horns

Phillies fans managed to get on Yankees skipper Karen Boone's nerves last night to the point where he complained to the umpires after fans outside Citizens Bank Park. The fans were blowing an air horn when Yankees starter Jordan Montgomery was delivering to the plate and that brought Boone out to complain to umpires who couldn't do a thing about it.

"The environment we're in, it's almost like a golf environment where that sudden thing can ... So I thought there was a timing element to it," Boone said after the game.

Now, we know Philly fans think of everything and that means a group of fans -- the Phandemic Krew -- hiring a drumline to create some music during the game. This is genius.

The Krew Twitter page says they'll be at every home game, staking out 10th & Phillies Way behind Ashburn Alley as their turf. It looks like visiting teams will get used to the air horns or MLB will step in and tell the Phillies to make it stop. Knowing how Rob Manfred operates he'll probably come up with some archaic rule and say Phillies fans are breaking it.  The Phillies seem to be onboard with the Krew movement. According to the Inquirer, Howard Smith, the team’s vice president of business affairs, visited the Krew "and told the fans they could be heard and that the team appreciated what they were doing."

The lesson here for people is to keep being ingenious, never stop using your brain. You can still be a fan. Never stop dreaming even if Karen Boone wants you silenced.
