The Philadelphia Phillies will only apprehend fans who run onto the field rather than tasing them unless additional force is deemed necessary, according to CBSSports.com.

The policy change was announced after Philadelphia Police tased a 17-year-old moron who ran onto the field at Citizens Bank Park Monday.

I felt no sympathy for Steven Consalvi when he made his jaunt onto the field. I feel even less sympathy for Thomas Betz, a copycat idiot who ran onto the field at Citizens Bank Park on Tuesday.

This moron, twice as old as Consalvi, should have known better. He surely should have known enough not to tweet about his plans to act like an idiot — yes, this drag on humanity actually told his followers “Turn on the Phillies game, I’m about to be on the field (grammar cleaned up because I’m a head case about idiots who can’t speak their native language worth a crap).”

AND HE SURE AS HELL SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN TO RUN ONTO THE FIELD WHILE CARRYING MARIJUANA!!!!!

Seriously?!?!? Apparently they don’t learn quickly in Philadelphia.

This idiot is the poster child for why tasers were invented.

I come from a family of people who enjoy putting away the more than occasional alcoholic beverage. Many of my friends can tip their drinks well into the wee hours of the morning. None of them have ever thought, even in the drunkest moments in which I have ever seen them, that it would be a good idea to jump onto the field at a sporting event.

It’s not. It’s stupid. Yes, the players make a lot of money. And some are jerks. But they are entertainers. And they are relatively defenseless when they are on the field.

They have no way of knowing whether two-bit hillbilly idiots who choose to jump on the field are doing so to shake their hands or to punch them in the mouth. Just ask Tom Gamboa, a one-time Royals coach who was attacked by a DNA-challenged father and son duo who apparently thought that a family that gets arrested together stays together.

One of my favorite NFL clips is when Baltimore linebacker Mike Curtis clotheslines a fan who ran onto the field at a Colts game back in 1971. Curtis decks the doofus as he steals the ball from the field.

Tasers? Clotheslines from angry linebackers? That is what fans who run onto the field deserve. Note to you, morons who might be thinking about jumping on the field at a game you might be soon planning to attend – you are not cool, you are not manly, and if that is your 15 minutes of fame, you are absolutely pathetic.

My disappointment in the way the Phillies handled things is they watered down their policy. They could have announced that they were going to tase offenders and extra time or two just to make sure they get their point across and I wouldn’t have thought twice about it.

Fans who buy tickets can boo, they can leave early, they can wear bags on their heads to protest bad teams and bad management.

But stay the hell off the field.
