I completely expected it and laughed when the Spankee Statium crowd boo'd all 8 members of the Red Sox present last night (even though they were on the same team as the 3 members of the Spankees). I even understood them booing Papelbon resoundly when he came in in the 8th. But when they cheered after he gave up the (unearned) go ahead run, I lost some respect for them. Theoretically at least, their team had something at stake in this game too assuming they can make a playoff run. I thought New York fans were supposed to be on par with Boston fans when it comes to understanding and appreciating the game. I guess not. But in the end the American League spanked the AAA league again and the sweet cherry was that a Red Sox player (JD Drew) won the MVP in the house that Ruth built. That's friggin priceless.
