Just Another Day in Red Sox Nation

Maybe they can start running Kevin Fennessy's commercial on NESN, like right between the Osiris Institute and Vargas and Vargas commercials (or in place of any Bob's commercial):

Here's another one.

Ed. so true, so true, so true note: After a win over the White Sox last week, we were on the platform at Kenmore waiting for a trolley when a bunch of 20somethings started chanting "Yankees suck!"

Not quite as good as the Globe's

The Globe's "This is not boston" ads were better than this because they took the typical Masshole-esque behaviors and twisted them to their saccharine antitheses where our worst behaviors are less than normal.

Here, it's like the exact opposite superlative. Let's take the worst aspect of being a Sox fan and make it so that everyone's doing it more than normal and in inappropriate times and places. It makes your audience look like real jackasses and seems like it'd only be funny to a New Yorker who thinks that this is what we're like 24/7 *anyways*.

I'd rather it be something like watching a guy load a truck and before he tosses a piece of furniture up the ramp, he spits on his gloves and does the Papi "double clap" move. The ladies playing Mahjong maybe still get the "Yankees suck" line. A guy walks down the street giving the Papelbon stare to two cute girls who look back at him flirtatiously like he just turned them on. The little girl at the end says good night to her dad by saying "Buenos noches amigos!" the way Remy always does after Orsillo does the SAP plug at the beginning of the game.

Something like that, where the player idiosyncrasies and aspects of having watched so much Red Sox TV have invaded our every day life instead.
