I don't see the big deal -- Wheeler was just being a team player. He blew the lead so that Brad Lidge didn't have to in the 9th... simple.

Worst ump I have ever seen live at a baseball game. Loudest cheer of the night? When the ump took a fould ball to the shoulder.

Here is a small, shaky video of the benches clearing.

@Sandy Magic Jackson: No they don't but it is next to impossible to actually buy the tickets for face value.

It's sort of become a running joke amongst Eagles fans. All the tickets get snatched up by Razorgater, who happen to be partners with the Philadelphia Eagles, and they sell the same tickets back to the fans for 4X the face value. Sometimes it sucks to be a sports fan.
