A drunken idiot with a bad sense of timing

 The defending National League Champion Philadelphia Phillies are halfway toward returning to the World Series after blowing out Arizona, 10-0, on Tuesday.

After the final out was recorded, some moron mistimed his dare to get on the field. A Citizens Bank Park security guard may have auditioned for the Eagles with a crushing tackle.

The hit went viral, as you could imagine, as one fan let go with a hearty, "Boom!", that would have made Chris Berman or even the late John Madden proud. A Fox affiliate in Philadelphia, in playing the video, added a sound byte of Homer Simpson's pet catchphrase, "D'oh!!".

The fan won't be back at Citizens Bank Park anytime soon. If he wanders over to Lincoln Financial Field, the Eagles might use him as a living tackling dummy. Just sayin'.
