The Phillies Just Failed So Miserably In The Ballpark Food Wars

Introducing the “Wayback Triple Triple” burger. A burger which has 9 patties, 9 slices of cheese, and that’s pretty much it (Quick Sidenote: I think the “9 Inning Burger” would be a much better name, but whatever). But seriously, that’s ALL this burger is. It’s just a really really big burger. Nothing innovative about it, nothing fancy, nothing at all. Just 9 cheeseburgers morphed into one. And that’s absolutely pathetic. The Philadelphia Phillies should be ashamed of themselves. This is such a blatant panic move, it makes me sick. There has been an all out Ballpark Food War going on for the past few weeks now. Nate has been taking care of covering the majority of them, but let’s just breakdown what we’ve seen so far.

Wilmington Blue Rocks – Krispy Kreme Donut Dog

Milwaukee Brewers – Deep Fried Nachos On A Stick

Minnesota Twins – Pepperoni Pizza Bloody Mary

Houston Astros – Chicken & Waffle Cones

Random MiLB Team – Grilled Cheese Burgers

All of these are fantastic. They’re something that you don’t see just anywhere, and something that took at least a little bit of time and effort to come up with. But the “Wayback Triple Triple”? That’s for the feeble-minded. I guess they thought people would be amazed at how big it is or something? I don’t know, it’s just a cheap little gimmick. What definitely happened here is that the Phillies saw every other stadium in the league churn out the greatest food concoctions one after another, got scared, panicked, and gave us this. And that’s just sad. It just would have been so much better to have stayed out of this war that they had no shot of winning in the first place. The goddamn team, man. They suck at everything.
