‘They could win’: Commentator goes viral for calling argument between couple in the stands

A commentator has gone viral, saving his best work for action in the stands as a male fan tried to dig himself out of a hole with his girlfriend.

Last weekend was a tough one for Philadelphia Phillies fans everywhere, as their series loss to the New York Mets featured a blown six-run ninth inning lead.

And the New York Post American baseball announcer Gary Cohen had a great time rubbing the Mets’ success in the faces of the Philadelphia faithful.

During his broadcast for SNY Sunday night, which ended in a 6-1 Mets win, Cohen added some commentary on a hilarious video of two Phillies fans sitting together at the game.

The pair, who appear to be a couple, are seen talking. The man pleads with the woman as tears are streaming down her face. Cohen re-enacted what he believed was going on during the duo’s conversation.

“No I want you to stay for the whole second game. They might rally, they could win,” Cohen said, mimicking what he imagined the boyfriend was saying.

The hilarious moment at the game went viral online, with fans saying “Cohen has been savage lately” and that he is “a true poet” for his bad lip reading masterclass.

She wasn’t buying whatever he was selling.

“That Gary Cohen play by play of the Phillies fan couple was hilarious,” one fan tweeted.

Fans chimed in online, giving their own added commentary on the apparent fight going on between the Phillies fans. Many pointed out how hilarious it was that SNY kept the camera lingering on the couple for such an extended length of time.

“SNY doing these Philly fans so dirty,” one fan wrote on Twitter.

“Phillies fans have a break up cam instead of a kiss cam,” wrote another.

DraftKings took it one step further, posing the question “What did he do? wrong answers only” to Twitter. The internet delivered in its responses, with one fan writing “He forced her to be a Phillies fan … he couldn’t have possibly done anything worse than that.”

Another fan wrote that he “told her he’s taking her somewhere nice and brought her to a Phillies game”.
