Yo Soy Red Sox Nation.


In previous posts you've read that it is that time of year again. That's right, it's time for Red Sox baseball - the most wonderful time of the year.
However, let us not forget about the New York Spankees...oops, I mean Yankees.
George Steinbrenner, the owner of the Spanks is now elderly and senile. His son Hank is now running the show. Which, as my peeps over at Surviving Grady have nailed right on the head, means the new boss is the same as the old boss. That is to say, a trash-talking, class-less* New York Yankees fan.

He had this to say in a recent interview.


Steinbrenner, apparently trying to emphasize that he has no fear of the Yankees' American League competition, has amped up the rivalry between the two teams, intentionally or not. "Red Sox Nation?" What a bunch of [expletive] that is," he said in an interview with The New York Times' Play magazine. "That was a creation of the Red Sox and ESPN, which is filled with Red Sox fans."Go anywhere in America and you won't see Red Sox hats and jackets, you'll see Yankee hats and jackets. This is a Yankee country. We're going to put the Yankees back on top and restore the universe to order."

Excuse me ? Universe back in order ? You and what army Hank ? A washed up Johnny Damon ?
Robinson Cano ? A pitching staff on more drugs than Anna Nicole ?

Ooooohhhh..I'm shaking in my boots Hank.


We are Red Sox Nation and we are legion.

Xooo

* When I say that the Yankees and their fans are totally class-less I sure as hell mean it. Last year at a Yanks home game a couple of those angels of mercy known as Yanks fans threw a disabled fan of the opposing team off the balcony, further disabling him.
P.S. I found a video of Barack's speech we saw yesterday. It is HERE.
