All I did is state what *I* do. I happen to think the wave is stupid, booing is juvenile and pink hats are ugly. Others don’t- hooray for them, they’re free to do and act as they please. And I’m free to mock them for doing the wave.

America: you’re free to act like an idiot, and the rest of us are free to point and laugh.

hey, i’m just being honest, because i have been that person. was using my example to illustrate that sometimes, frustration just spills over, no matter who you are.

frankly i’m pretty tired of the fact that everyone seems to want to distance themselves from other fans these days. everybody wants to point out how they’re better than the pink hats, or people who boo, or people who publish links to mrs. masterson’s blog. everybody’s better than everybody else, because they know more about numbers, because they played themselves, because they personally know a ballplayer, because they don’t do the wave, because they don’t get drunk at ballgames…etc.

i’m sick of it. sometimes people boo. sometimes people get drunk and do stupid things in public. not everybody’s going to a game to score every play. some people think the wave is fun. what is the big deal here?

So am I still “booing” them if I say “are you friggin kidding me?”

Though I was mighty tempted with Elijah Dukes, since he sucks as a human being.

“Hi I’m an idiot at a Red Sox game … on my cell … look at me on TV” *waves like a dolt*

Please GO AWAY!

People tell me I look good in pink, but I find it…insipid. Too “girly” for me. I much prefer red or black or both. Or purple. Strong colors. No, pink doesn’t fling itself at me, but the only time I wear something pink is if, for example, my sister gives me a pink sweater for Christmas. Then I feel like I really should wear the thing.

ecl, you don’t wear pink if you can help it? Do pink garments have a habit of flinging themselves upon your helpless frame?

And NO booing your own. Not Gagne, not Manny at the end, and nuh-uh Lindsay, not Lugo even after multiple errors. Cringing, yes; booing, no.

I would never boo ANY player — on my team or the opponents. Just isn’t my style.

Have never actually been to a game so have never done the wave…I also don’t wear pink if I can help it, and I don’t usually wear hats of any kind, so that settles that.

I get very upset when my baseball boyfriends get gone. I have a sneaking and very sad suspicion that there will be none for me on next year’s roster. :::goes and sulks in the corner:::

And I don’t get booing your own players. It’s not as if they want to perform badly. I’m sure they hope they end up the hero of the game and when it doesn’t go so well, I always am sympathetic. I felt bad for Timlin last night.

As for the booing, I agree with you Tex. Booing is only acceptable in certain situations. For example booing Lugo because he bobbles a routine grounder…several times in 1 game.

Oh and I will never ever do the wave or wear a pink hat – way too corny. Nor would I ever boo a player. It’s not like booing someone is gonna make them play better.

THE KELLY GREEN JOHAN SANTANA JERSEY

…because when I think Johan Santana, I think – Dublin

…and some dorkweed in Section 42 starts the wave.

…and when people round about section 10 stop participating, everyone BOOS.

because that’s what you want to be doing at that very moment.

omg i hate the wave. i hate it with a fiery passion. i hate people who say they hate the wave but do it anyway.

you know where you can do the wave? in a european or south american soccer stadium. GO THERE

I own two Pedroia shirts, both pink. Every member of my family seems to think that because I’m a girl, I must love all the pink memorabilia.

I think I might fork over a ridiculous amount of money to buy myself either a blue or a red Dusty shirt at the game tonight. I can’t stand not supporting my favorite player any longer.

Booing (your own players), however, is a general statement of disapproval/hatred – and you may be booing the player for one thing, while it appears as though you’re booing him for something else. Are you booing him for his attitude, or are you booing him for failing to get a basehit? Or because you’re a close-minded drunk jerkwad who knows nothing about the game?

Also, the other players on the field are the collateral recipients of the boos, and that sucks.
