Wouldn't a real Red Sox fan strangle someone who had something to do with Yankees?

I’m not sure what that is, but I bet it would make a better president than the one we have now.

For a host of reasons there’s bad blood between these two teams going back about five years. Also, the Rays, this season were in contention for the AL East and the Yankees are not.

Pretty F’ing stupid to attack some poor schmuck working a piss-poor job. Beer is the enemy of judgement.

He told police he had consumed two beers during the game, police said.

They have a lot of fans. Most of us watch them on tv.
