Red Sox are racist?
I went to the Red Sox game yesterday and it was pretty fun. By the third inning, it was 5-0 Tampa, which normally I would say means nothing to the Red Sox, but when a third of your lineup is 0-35 or something like that, its trouble. Lester looked awful, and Byrd looked awful. Oh well, life goes on.
So I read this article that came out today. Now, granted, I am not a player, baseball official or on the Red Sox payroll. Other than following baseball and going to games, I know nothing about what it’s like to play in Boston. And sure, it has a reputation for being racist in the past, I guess, but I really didn’t think that was an issue anymore. And just because management wears Klan hats to the office, or because the Red Sox single A team is named the Arians, or David Duke is a mid level manager for the Red Sox, doesn’t mean they are racist. I mean come ON, Archie Bunker might be a Red Sox fan, but that does not in any way mean the Red Sox are anything but open.
So if Ken Rosenthal wants to write about this while the Red Sox are in the playoffs, why not write about how the Tampa Bay DEVIL Rays are devil worshipers. They do not go after players who are God fearing Christians. Its well known that Catholic and Jewish players do not like to play at the Prince of Darkness stadium because ownership likes to sacrifice animals to the dark lord.

I am saving this one and relishing it...
"Wait wait Loser Nation, don't give up. Don't leave the ball park like ants heading away from heat. It's not over. Even though Papelbutt just gave up a double, and there are still no outs, and down 7-0, you can still come back. Wait, just hang on, it could all work out.
Say what you will about the Yanks not being in the playoffs, but they never got their asses kicked like this in the playoffs. They lost, sure, but they left with their heads held high. Can you say that about this series?"
It must be so frustrating to re-live past greatness as opposed to living in history making moments of the present. PS I stayed until the glorious end!
