I...don't get it. I have lots of friends who couldn't care less about baseball, but none of them go to the trouble of actively hating it and trying to spread their hate. It's kind of like those athiests who are just as overinvested in convincing you there is no god as the fundies are in convincing you you're going to hell. They're both annoying.

I understand how some people can dislike a sport or some other thing, and they're entitled to that opinion. But Susie clearly is just looking for attention, at least based on that first posting. It's all about the press clips she's gotten for writing wet blanket letters to the Globe and Herald. Oh, please. Give me a break. And yes, that's all she is: a wet blanket at a time when the city is overwhelmingly excited and happy about our hometown team. Go Red Sox!

Don't hate on the Red Sox, hate on the media coverage, esp. Fox 25 morning news who (each and every morning) always find something Red Sox related to bitch about: from their ALDS champagne celebration to Manny Ramirez.

Check out this stuff - it's awsome for folks like us who are sick of hearing about the Sox!

An old lady in my apartment building -- who grew up here! -- told me today that she was rooting for the Patriots to lose last night. "They just run over everyone," she said.

(I don't think they'll go 16-0. It would be funny if their one loss is Miami's one win.)

They just announced that Glenn Geffner is being replaced
by Dale Arnold.

Since I get 80% of Red Sox experience via radio, this
is bad news. Geffner was unlistenable (see
www.38cliches.com) but Dale Arnold is no kind of upgrade.
He's pretty much a master of the obvious. Ugh.

Bring back Trup.
