That was just an unfortunate play. By the way, I know this season is going poorly and this thread is a nice place to vent, but let's try to keep the negativity to a reasonable level. Might as well suspend/ban me now. If I am gonna sit here and watch this junk....I let it be known..I am not going to hold back at this point. You must be young. Baseball is a long season and a lot of times it doesn't go right, for years at a time. Picking apart every play will make you crazy.

It's just not healthy if the fact that the Red Sox are down one run in the third inning against the best team in the majors and probably won't make the playoffs this year gets you into a frothing rage. Priorities and all that, you know?

Don't blame it on his youth. I am a young enough guy at 25 and I am just as repulsed by his nonsensical, negative, bashing. I like to think I bring a solid amount to the site in terms of intelligent conversation, much like most people do, but it has nothing to do with age. This guy is just being a whiner.

Well, agree to disagree. I'm way more tolerant than people who didn't see 86, 78 or 75. But that's no one's fault.

I've been through the dark ages...fan since 1975. I'm letting some things go tonight...and don't really want to be called out for it. I haven't sworn.

There are a lot of older/elderly Red Sox fans that are extremely impatient with the young guys that come up to the Sox. Maybe not on this website but they call into WEEI all the time. I'm actually perfectly fine with being sellers when appropriate and I'm a younger guy too. I've also seen the opposite where some people think every prospect is going to turn into some monster star haha.

I swore to never get upset after 2004.

I still feel like I'm young. lol

Pierzynski has ground into 11 DPs this year in 108 opportunities. It feels like everyone killed a rally or kept a pitcher on th ropes in a game. Probably anecdotal, but sure feels that way.
To his credit his numbers with RISP are quite good so far .304/.344/.464. Just wish he'd take a pitch once in a while.

Hell, when I get annoyed with baseball, the 2013 highlights are enough to bring me out of it. The 2004 DVD is reserved for true emergencies (see: September 2011).

The 2004 Documentaries give me the chills. 2013 even is pretty cool and special for me too. I haven't seen the 2007 one in a while but looking back on that would be interesting... especially the Indians series.

And so we all agree there are better ways to handle the angst. I think I have posted enough around here that most people know I was just letting things go tonight. Unfortunately, you all might have been collateral damage.
That said...I didn't swear or respond to the personal attacks by some...although it would have been in my right to do so. In the end, we are all Red Sox fans and that is a great bond to share. Here's to the boys turning things around.

Oh goodie my favorite binky Jose Abreu hit his 21st tonight. Wouldn't it be nice to have someone other than Papi with more than 7 HRs?
P.S. - This is my contribution to tonight's diaper throwing.
