I just disowned my father.
He pulled up in front of my house while I was standing outside. Just sat there, idling in his car and grinning like the proverbial chesire cat. I peeked inside the car.
He was wearing a Boston Red Sox cap.
My father is a Met fan, which is bad enough to begin with. Now, he's taking up the side of the enemy and I have no choice but to abandon him.
Tonight's voodoo machine is revved up. One hour until game time.

» BACK TO BASEBALL from Begging To Differ
I'd long ago abandoned the so-called national pastime in favor of basketball as my number one spectator sport of choice. But these playoffs are just too good to be ignored, and they've sucked me in. It's been twenty years (ouch--I'm... [Read More]

How dare you castigate your dear father for merely showing a little human kindness and compassion for the long-suffering Red Sox fans?
Steinbrenner's rubbing off on ya!

Hmm, nice empire. Can't beat a bunch of whiny little babies...

Babe, you've got nothing on me. Life-long Sox fan, grew up in Western Mass. and learned to love 'em from my father. THAT traitor bought and wore a Yankee cap AND Clemens shirt when Clemens went over.
That's just wrong.

You did the right thing. Honestly, he should have been abandoned long ago for being a Met fan.

The red sox are going to win the world series on the back of a washed up knuckle baller. Just you wait.

Is Wakefield considered washed up? Maybe in '99...isn't he to the level of rejuvenated by now though?

Ouch. Your dad must've worked some bad hoodoo.
Sox 3, Yanks 2.
Go Cubs!
