After giving up five earned runs in 1 2/3 innings in Tuesday night's loss, Foulke was booed by the Fenway Park crowd. After the game, he talked to reporters about the response.
''Boos?" Foulke said, according to Chris Snow's story in the Globe on Wednesday. ''Of course I heard it. And I'm not inviting them [the fans] to my World Series celebration either. They have all the right. They can boo, they can cuss me and tell me I [stink]. Go ahead. If they don't want me to do the job, tell them to tell management. I've done a lot of good for this team but, you know, let them boo."
''Are they going to keep me from coming to the ballpark tomorrow? No. They're not going to make it any harder for me to go home and look in the mirror. I'm more embarrassed to walk into this locker room and look at the faces of my teammates than to walk out and see Johnny from Burger King booing me. I'm worried about these guys, not everybody else."

Somebody needs to remind Keith that Johnny form Burger King and Phil from Wendy's and Rita from McDonald's pay the multimillion-dollar salary that he collects for playing a kid's game. Shut up, take your whuppin' like a man when you have the inevitable "off" day, and shut up.
What an odd commercial. The idea of a masked intruder watching me while I sleep creeps me out and really doesn't put in the mood to eat at BK.
