Mattress Mack’s NSFW explosion after Jose Altuve troll shows Phillies fans doing Yankees proud

Houston-based furniture magnate Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale is back to his old tricks this postseason, placing a gigantic bet on his Astros. Just like in the good old days of 2017 and 2019, when the Yankees were actually competitive.

This year, though, he’s added a new trick to his book of old tricks: screaming and swearing!

Mattress Mack made the trek to Philadelphia for Game 3 of the World Series (don’t do that!), assuming that he’d be able to ride out a high-pressure set of games in relative comfort — with $75 million on the line, which could be the largest return on a sports bet in recorded history.

Mack, who’s reportedly worth $310 million, can stomach a significant loss more than most. However, as a high-stakes gambler, you have to assume he’s prone to instability. Because, you see, a normal man would never do this.

Before the game, Mack was all smiles, greeting Philly’s finest fans and showing just how kind and generous people can be on his social media channels.

After the game? Uhh…

…

…you’re still not answering?

…

You’re not going to believe this, but Day 1 of the trip ended up relatively unpleasant for the multi-millionaire rooting for a hated team in a sea of triumphant Delco residents.

By the time the Phillies’ 7-0 beatdown had wrapped, Mack was spotted leaving the stadium in solitude and letting the expletives fly.

Bravo, Philly. Dammit, Bra. Vo. The downside, though? According to Mack himself, the Yankees no longer have the worst fans in baseball. That distinction heads down to Philadelphia, another huge blow in a long line of ’em for the Bronx Zoo.

Houston’s Mattress Mack says Phillies fans worse than Yankees fans

What happened to us, Mack? I thought we were great together!

And wait, what happened here?!

Apparently — and this is true — Mack couldn’t stomach someone questioning the moral character of his Astros, specifically Jose Altuve.

We really mean this as nicely as possible: This … can’t be the first time he’s heard something like this about Altuve before. Can it? He’s been to Yankee Stadium. He’s waded amongst Yankee fans. This has to have come up before Tuesday night.

Something tells us the $75 million is weighing heavily on Mack these days, and the collective weight of several cash piles might’ve sent him over the edge here.

Regardless of the root cause, Phillies fans have done the Yankees proud here by doing the dirty work New York can’t seem to manage themselves.
