To quote the great William Shatner: get a life! You guys find a few people joining in on celebrating something you've been waiting 86 years to see offensive? Can't you people just enjoy it? No, you can't, because you guys love to play the victim, and when it isn't the New York Yankees walking all over you, it's mean old Hollywood. Sheesh.
Yeah. NE sports fans are a little ... odd ... not to get too personal about it.
The movie was originally written in a way that celebrated the two kids'' love, despite the fact that the Sox lost, cause nobody really expected them to win. They actually had to do a quick re-write when the Sox turned the series around.

As a Yankee fan, hell, i''m offended. One, because they''re raping the actual book, which is one of the three best sports books ever written, and two, there''s a certain majesty to that acheivment, and having a romantic comedy tied to it seems to diminish it some.
I love America more than any other country in the world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.
Watch me learn to draw.
Can you really blame anyone for not wanting to be associated with Jimmy Fallon?
Nightmare is unhappy. He has complained of the lack of garbage collection lately. He was disgusted by a double pointer. He was disturbed by structs while sleeping.
I sure as sh*t can''t.
Better him than Chris Katan for Certis'' sake!

I heard that the Sox were considering replacing their current mascot, Slider, with MANGO.

Can''t argue that point, but from having gone to college in Mass., Boston and Chicago strike me as setting the record for most fanboyish sports towns. One year when I was around the Bruins started out 7-1 or something and the Globe was already talking about their eventual Stanley Cup victory.
One of my favorite Boston sports stories was from a friend of mine who grew up in Boston. Apparently the commentator for Celtics games was super-biased, and the Celtics could never do anything wrong in his eyes. Typical play-by-play sounded like, ""Bird, hacked by Lambert. Bird, fouled by Lambert, but nothing called."" One time the play-by-play went like this: ""Oh! Lambert rammed his face into Bird''s elbow and they called the foul on Bird!"" Wow. Talk about seeing the world through Celtic-colored glasses.

Two boys are playing hockey on a pond in Boston Common when one is attacked by a rabid Rottweiler. Thinking quickly, the other boy takes his stick, wedges it down the dog''s collar and twists, breaking the dog''s neck.
A reporter who was strolling by sees the incident, and rushes over to interview the boy. ""Young Bruins Fan Saves Friend From Vicious Animal,"" he starts writing in his notebook.
""But I''m not a Bruins fan,"" the little hero replied.
""Sorry, since we are in Boston, I just assumed you were."" Said the reporter and starts again. ""Red Sox Fan Rescues Friend From Horrific Attack,"" he continued writing in his notebook.
""I''m not a Red Sox fan either,"" the boy said.
""I assumed everyone in Boston was either for the Bruins or Red Sox. What team do you root for?"" the reporter asked.
""I''m a Yankees fan."" The child said. The reporter starts a new sheet in his notebook and writes, ""Little Bastard from New York Kills Beloved Family Pet.""

Yep, that was Johnny Most on the radio. You''d really have had to have heard him to believe it. He was soooo entertaining that we would turn the sound down on the television and listen to him on the radio. ""Oh my God, McHale was raped under the basket!"". In fact, someone grazed his arm as he went up for a put-back.
More to be found at www.masshole.com mostly SFW, I think. Hasn''t been updated this century, but still amusing.
