…I’m kicking myself for not buying a Sunday Boston Globe this past week. Several years ago, when Derek Lowe pitched his no-no, I bought a paper, and made a collage about it…put it in a big poster frame, which is still hanging in the front hallway. This was done before I got into scrapbooking, though, so now I know that I can take the elements of it, the articles and pics and all, and make it look nicer. Maybe I’ll do that sometime.

But now I want to make one for Clay Buchholz’ no-no. WHY didn’t I go and buy a paper so I could have some content to put on it? Oh, well, I guess I can find some pictures and articles on the internet and print them out. Also, I should order one of the RemDawg’s scorecards from his site…The Remy Report. I have one from Lowe’s no-no, which is a part of the collage. I have it so that I can take it out of the frame and look at both sides.

…Now there’s three hours or so of my life I will never get back! When we were in Portland last week, we spent Thursday afternoon at Gritty McDuff’s in the Old Port, watching the final game of the Red Sox/Y*****s series. As you all know by now, the Skanks used Ye Olde Broome on the Sox last week, and it wasn’t pretty. It was such a beautiful day out, too. I could have been out on a boat, cruising Casco Bay and looking at lighthouses and stuff. But NOOOOO…I was sitting in a bar suffering as I watched the Sox lose to the Evil Empire. Granted, Gritty’s is a very good bar…it’s a microbrew pub which serves some of Maine’s best brews…but I could have been drinking that same beer on a scenic cruise, perhaps. Maybe I should consider hiring a product liability attorney to sue the Red Sox for giving me some crappy baseball! Just kidding! LOL

…Remind me to avoid buying tickets to any more minor league games where they are playing any minor league Skankees affiliate! The Sea Dogs games we went to last week were against the Trenton Thunder, who is the Class AA Y*****s affiliate. It bothered me a lot to see so many Skanks fans there at Hadlock…who let THEM into OUR territory? We saw the same thing on Sunday when we went to our last Fisher Cats’ game of the season in Manchester…they were playing the Thunder, and we saw many, many Skankees fans in attendance. Gack! We even saw a few of the same people we’d seen at Hadlock a few days earlier. GO BACK TO NEW YORK, I wanted to yell at them!

…I managed to offend a Y***** fan at Gritty McDuff’s in Freeport on Saturday. Mike and I had gone up there to shop at L.L. Bean, and of course, we needed another dose of Grittage. So we went in and sat at the bar…Mike sat to the right of me, and I had my stool turned to face him. I started talking about some obnoxious Y***** fans that we saw at Hadlock, and Mike was desperately trying to get me to stop talking about this. Why? Because there was a guy sitting to the left of me, actually, since I was facing Mike, he was more like behind me, so I didn’t see him…wearing a Y*****s shirt and hat.

All that did was make me talk more about how I didn’t like seeing Skankee fans on OUR turf. “So what?” I said. “This is RED SOX NATION here, not Y***** UNIVERSE” (I saw that on some guy’s shirt at Hadlock). What do they expect when they come here wearing those stupid Jeter and A-Rod shirts? They’re treading on OUR turf here, of course people are gonna talk shit about them! I don’t care if they hear or not. Hell, if WE went to New York wearing Red Sox apparel, they’d talk shit about us, too. Actually, we’d be more likely to get killed…I remember reading a story in the paper a few years ago about a fight at Y***** Stadium, where some Skankees fans started beating the crap out of this guy in Red Sox gear. There was a New York cop stationed nearby, who did nothing when we saw who was getting beaten up. Delightful.

Anyhoo, the Y***** fan at Gritty’s had ordered food, but all of a sudden, he told the bartender that he wanted it to go. He didn’t say anything to me for talking shit about the Skanks and their fans, but it was clear that I offended him. And, as I said, I didn’t care. He CHOSE to venture into Red Sox Nation, that’s what happens.

I just hope the Sox can get some sweet revenge, and kick some serious Y***** ass when the Evil Empire comes to Fenway this month!
