Booing Johnny Damon

I am a fan of the Boston Red Sox. I will never forget the 2004 World Series team. That being said, Johnny Damon deserved to be booed at Fenway Park. While most people made a case for booing him based on the fact that he is a money grubbing piece of shit Yankee motherfucker, I will offer another, far more practical, perspective.

In addition to the fact that he is a Yankee, and all Yankees deserve to have obscenities shouted at them wherever they may be, he is the leadoff hitter and catalyst of what is, on paper, the most dangerous and potent offense in all of baseball. When that offense is one that you have to face a whopping 19 times during the course of the regular season, and is also your main competition when the pennant race is in full swing, any advantage that the Boston Red Sox can gain over the Yankees at home is critical to their success. What the fuck is the point of giving your enemy a good feeling when his only goal is to piss you off by putting the ball in play and crossing the plate? They call it Home Field Advantage for a fucking reason. If the Fenway Faithful can make Johnny Damon, A-Rod, Jeter, or Giambi less comfortable at the plate, they should do it. We owe it to the current Red Sox players, most of whom are playing their asses off for 162 games, to help them out the only way that fans can: BY CHEERING THEM AND BOOING THE OPPONENT!! In a rivalry that has been so tightly contested as of late, giving aid and comfort to the enemy is not an option.
