And "RedSoxNation" wonders why people hate them
Ho hum. Another obnoxious Red Sox fan butts in with a sound byte in an otherwise expository piece about the latest (mind-numbingly stupid) A-Rod drama (A-ROD'S WIFE FLEES TO THE ARMS OF HALF-JEW LENNY KRAVITZ! OR DOES SHE? etc)
Quote:
Red Sox Nation gleefully soaked up every word written about A-Rod's faltering marriage.
"You wouldn't see this stuff in Boston. Go, Lenny Kravitz!" said Sox supporter Brendon Stewart, 23, of Saratoga Springs, outside Yankee Stadium last night.
Kill yourself Brandon Stewart. I mean, it would just be a waste of time to bring up people like Wil Cordero or Johnny Damon...that's not even the point. The point is: Brandon....oops check that...BRENDON (what is this, 90210?) Stewart is a huge pud and Red Sox Nation's a bunch of Chadleys who almost give Bill Simmons a bad name.

i know Wil Cordero beat his wife, but what did Johnny Damon do?
cheated on his wife.
No big deal, but certainly something one might keep in mind if he were going to say "THIS WOULD NEVER HAPPEN IN BOSTON"
but once again that's beside the point. The point was, even if that stuff never DID happen in Boston, Brendon's a tool :)

There's a link. I'm not trying to make Damon out to be a bad guy or nothing....although certainly cheating on your wife isn't something to be, like, admired.
Just saying it was a stupid thing to say in addition to being a douchechilling thing to say.
you know, I read that stupid book, and I cant believe i didnt remember that. I guess its easier to remember a guy beating on his wife, then cheating on. Agreed. Brendon is a huge tool. I know people hate bandwagon red sox fans and the fans that whine about them, but, goddamn, stop making all of us look bad, idiots. i swear, contrary to popular belief, we are all not like this.
I don't think most Red Sox fans care about this crap. I know i sure don't. It's in New York where the A-Rod sex garbage sells all the papers. You guys shouldn't be so quick to assume every idiot you can find represents all of "Red Sox Nation". I'm sure all teams including your favorite team have some idiots cheering for them.
I like reading your blog but why all the hate for
the Sox and their fans en masse?
i just found this site after googling "pat forde is a piece of shit"(just read his most recent article on Dara Torres to see what I'm talking about). Cool site though.
iridescence:
I don't hate Red Sox fans en masse. I have a few thoughtful, intelligent friends who happen to be Red Sox fans, just like I know a few non-puds who happen to be Cub fans. Patriots fans? That's a whole different story.
No, I, and most other writers on this site, I suspect, have a problem with the self-professed Red Sox Nation--the kind of bandwagon jumping, ball-cap accessorizing, trust-fund spending guys who think that valid baseball trash talk is "HERE IN RED SAWX NATION AHHR PLAYAHS DON'T CHEAT ON THEYUH WIVES"...especially when that's not true.
Jeff, an excellent commenter and hilarious blog writer, is a boston sports fan. And as far as I know he has never said anything like "Fuck yeah Beckett is so much mo-uh wicked aahsome than Jeetah. What a fucking wicked faggot that A-Rod is."
Hence neither he nor you nor Fred Trigger seem to be the kind of Red Sox Nation residents this site is annnoyed by.
Also Bill Simmons.

thanks for the checkout. i'm pretty amazed that it's the first result!
Every fan base has jerkoffs who think that their team can do no wrong. I have no doubt that there are White Sox fans who think that Ozzie's a great manager with spectacular people skills, Hawk is every bit as good as Vin Scully, and A.J. Pierzynski is an all-around awesome human being.
Anyone who would bother going onto a message board and saying "my team would never do anything like that" is either 12 years old or completely ignorant of modern athletic indiscretions, or both.
I'm a Yankee fan, but I'm not about to say that my team would never do anything wrong. That would be idiotic.
Just for fun though:
Red Sox malcontents
Wil Cordero- wife beater.
Wade Boggs- selfish jerk, highly publicized affair.
Roger Clemens- let me put it this way; he didn't just start being a jerk after he left the Sox.
Julio Lugo- smashed wife's face into a car door.
Carl Everett- frequently cheated on his wife, also denied the existence of dinosaurs.
Jose Canseco- only with the team for two years, but it's not like he decided to be a choirboy those two years.
Kevin Youkilis- whiny crybaby who throws a hissy-fit after every AB, also fights with teammates.
Manny Ramirez- lazy asshole who takes a month off every season, plays terrible defense, assaults 64-year old men.
Dustin Pedroia- irritating punk who talks trash after his homeruns, utilized essentially the same "slap play" as A-rod, received 1/1000th the amount of criticism for it.
And that's just one team.
Chris W, are you actually shouting in defense of Carl Everett? I've never seen that before. I guess if I were to be fair, I would acknowledge that Carl was only cheating on his wife with "demons", not real women.
Carl Everett is pretty fucking awesome. The only time I didn't like him was when he was in Boston taking playing time away from Dante Bichette.
Frankly, it may be sort of telling that Everett never had any problems with the fans, press, teammates or umpires anywhere but Boston.
Or maybe that's coincidence.
At any rate, he was always a fan favorite for my White Sox, and even though I know this may get me ripped to shreds by the stat-crowd, I think without him we might not have won that 2005 WS.
More importantly, without him, we'd have to struggle to find a semi-famous athlete who's a staunch creationist.
For the record, they did spell my name wrong, it is Brandon..and thanks for the compliments guys...and really, Yankee stadium area is a dump.
Haha...I feel so honored to know the guy who made these comments. And it just makes me laugh seeing some Yankee fan bitch about them...
