Last week, it was Shane Victorino.

Today, it's Pedro Martinez.

The cover of Wednesday's New York Post shows the Phillies' Game 6 starter in a diaper. The headline reads "Spank him, Yanks: Daddy to whup Pedro tonight."

Martinez pitched Game 2 at Yankee Stadium, allowing three earned runs in six-plus innings during the Phillies' 3-1 loss. Fans peppered him with "Who's your daddy?" chants throughout.

Martinez has spoke candidly about pitching at Yankee Stadium and even gave the fans a smile as he left the mound last Thursday.

Before Game 1, the Post mocked Victorino on its cover, calling Philadelphia and its fans "second-rate."

Victorino was pictured in a skirt with the headline "Gotham Trembles: The Frillies are coming to town!"

And they call Philadelphians classless? Pot, meet the kettle.

Seriously...NY fans better never use the word "class" in association with NY ever again. This makes me want Game 6 even more. Go PEDRO!

NYC Yankee fan here ... the NY Post is a complete rag ... but a Philly person calling something else "low class" ... now that's really funny!! Your city is the capital of low class and the whole country knows it but you.
