Yankees vs. Red Sux
So it’s been a whole month and this is what you come back to, another tired Yankees/Red Sux take. Well yes, yes it is.
I was just reading random news stories online and I came across this one. Essentially the key points are this:
A man was ordered held without bail Monday for allegedly beating a New York man with a baseball bat because he thought the man was a Yankees fan.
As it turned out, the New Yorker allegedly beaten in the land of the Red Sox isn’t even a big baseball fan.
Police say Robert Correia, 20, and others spotted a car with New York license plates leaving a fireworks display Friday. The group approached the car and began yelling about the Yankees, according to the police report.
Police did not identify the victim, but the New York Post identified him as William Nestor, 29, of Northport, N.Y. Nestor said his family was traveling in two cars and stuck in heavy traffic after the fireworks on Cape Cod when he was attacked.
And then later on, it goes to mention this:
In May, a New Hampshire woman was charged with second-degree murder and drunken driving in a fatal crash following an argument over the Yankees and the Red Sox.
Ivonne Hernandez, 43, told police she was trying to scare off a group of people who were hitting her car and yelling after they spotted a Yankees sticker on her rear windshield.
Police said Hernandez drove away from the group, then turned around and headed directly toward them. Matthew Beaudoin, 29, of Nashua, was killed, and a woman suffered minor injuries.
Wow. Now this story didn’t surprise me. Last year at about this time I was working in Brockton, MA, and one night at the hotel whilst I was sleeping my roommate noticed a group of kids noticing the New York license plate on my truck. “Let’s f**k his car up” was one of their comments. “Let’s s**t on the hood” was another. Needless to say, and perhaps funny–or not so funny in the context of this story–enough when my roommate offered to stick a baseball bat up their asses, they cleared out.
But reading this got me thinking, when is enough enough? I mean, the Red Sux have won two out of the last four World Series championships after not having one any in eight-six years. Shouldn’t they be happy with that? At least content? Of course not. Once again Red Sux Nation proves they have a little man complex. Why you ask? This is why:
World Series Championships:
26
7
Hall of Famers:
(who wear the team’s cap on their HOF plaque)
18

People:
8,400,000

Scoreboard On All Accounts: New York
Boo on Boston. BOOOOOOOOOO!
