Since it is over for the Red Sox…

…I thought I’d share some of the emails I’ve received since I started this blog.

Not the good ones – the ones from the true fans of the game regardless of their team allegiances.  I get many of those and I thank you for them.

Oh no…the fun ones.  I’ll spare you all the vile ones that MLB would shut me down for reposting…but I thought it would be interesting for you all to see a bit of what I get just for having this blog.  I’m amazed at the people who take the time to write such junk, but what are you going to do?

Here’s the latest one I received today…before the game even started:

"YOU S*CK AND SO DO YOUR RED SOCKS.

GO SOX"

Brilliant, isn’t it?  Thank you Ryan Jirmasek.

Or how about this gem Joshua Wilmes sent me yesterday:

"Bye, bye red sox. Keep dreaming about a comeback and tell gaffe-nino he s*cks just like red sox nation "

White Sox fans are so original, aren’t they?

And this one, which either came from a White Sox fan or a Yankees fan…he wasn’t specific, but just like the others, he did send me his name (amazing…write like a 2 year old, yet tell me who you are). Ben Marz, thank you for this enlightening message:

"bosox su x"

Wow.  Such poetry. 

And these are the ones I can print (although even these I had to edit to get on MLB.com).  There are many others which I should print OUT and burn in the street…but I won’t.  I understand the frustration other fans can have from watching people actually enjoy baseball. 

I’m currently watching the Angels make Randy Johnson look bad.  I got to watch my Red Sox play 165 games this year.  Life is pretty darn good.
