“I’d be surprised if (the crowd noise at CBP) trumped that Venezuela game down in Miami,” Kelly said.
That doesn’t sound too bad, but that’s the worst thing you can say because Phillies fans are ruthless. Let it be known they will trump that Venezuela game, and it will be directed directly at Kelly. He poked the bear, which the D-backs had done a good job of avoiding so far.

These are the same fans who completely broke Orlando Arcia after hearing a rumor that Arcia said, “Atta Boy Harper” in the locker room after the Brave’s game-two win in the NLDS. The same fans who found a 10-year-old tweet from Baxter, the D-backs mascot. The tweet said he was better than their Philly Phanatic.
Merrill Kelly is in for a rude awakening in game two tonight.
