A deranged fan threatened to kill the dog of Red Sox pitcher Dustin May in response to a social media post by the pitcher’s wife.
May’s wife, Amelia, shared an Instagram Story that contained a picture of the couple’s dog, along with a message from an account called dustinmaywilldie, which read, “I’ll cook this dog for dinner.”
The threatening note came after May allowed five runs in the Red Sox’s loss to the Yankees on August 24.
The menacing message toward May and his pet marks only the most recent example of a disturbing trend in which Red Sox players have faced death threats or threats of harm after losses.
Boston reliever Liam Hendriks and his wife received death threats after a bad outing against the Mets in May.

I have gambled once in my life. I actually placed money on a Presidential win with Trump being the winner in 2020. The Democrats cheated and I lost. I requested that bet be looked over again if the election is overturned and I was told that I was basically SOL. Never again. And yes, I knew it was stupid but had so much faith in our President. I just didn’t have that much faith that Joe Biden, the diaper clad idiot, would be able to cheat as big as he did.
He had help from a billionaire.
Unless you made your bet right before the election you could not have seen that coming.

At the very least, “Official Betting Partner of the MLB” should not be a thing.
