Chase Utley gets blasted from de Blasio, Schumer before game

From Citi Field to City Hall, dastardly Dodger Chase Utley got a tongue-lashing from the Flushing faithful on Monday.

While Mets fans pelted the brutish former Phillie with ear-splitting boos and chants of “Utley Sucks” before Monday night’s showdown in Queens, Mayor de Blasio called the “slide” he used to break shortstop Reuben Tejada’s leg on Saturday “sickening.”

“It was a tackle, it was illegal, it was sickening," Hizzoner said.

Sen. Chuck Schumer praised MLB disciplinary czar Joe Torre for suspending Utley for two games – but said he would have been harsher.
