Boston sports fans are still stinging from the Patriots loss to the Eagles in Super Bowl LII, and Monday night, Philly fans poured salt in the wound.
In the top of the eighth inning at Fenway Park, the Phillies fans in the house started an Eagles chant before it was quickly drowned out by boos from the Boston faithful.
Ouch.

Pats fans have spent the off season questioning the move by Pats coach Bill Belichick to bench former All-Pro cornerback Malcolm Butler.
The Boston Globe’s Dan Shaughnessy peppered Belichick last week at the opening of training camp with questions on why he benched Butler.
The responses — or lack thereof — were pure Belichick.

Catcher Blake Swihart hit a walk off ground-rule double to score Eduardo Nunez for the game winner.
Both the Red Sox and Phillies are leading their respective divisions. The Sox have the best record in baseball at 75-33 while the Phillies lead the NL East by a half game over the Braves at 58-48.
Maybe we’ll get another Boston-Philadelphia showdown in the World Series.
