It still so much better than it being the Yankees though. To me, no it's not. And Papelbon's a punk. For the past 10 yrs, the Red Sox have treated the Rays as their punching bags, and when the Rays finally stand up for themselves, Papelbon doesn't like it? Paplebon's a punk. Hey Jon, it was YOUR team that started. The Rays just ended it. One thing for sure, the Rays are inside the Red Sox heads. Plus the Red Sox came off as the arrogant bully, that needs to be put down. I am hoping the Rays can win that division so that both the Red Sox and the Yankees are at home watching the playoffs. Both the bottomline is this....Boston is a douchebag city, with douchebag fans, and idiots players. Boston is a beautiful city in the summertime. Just walk along the Charles RIver and you'll see what I'm talking about. Boston fans are as dedicated to their team as Cubs fans, if not more so. I think their players wear the term "idiots" with pride. Think of 2004.
