Red Sox Skip Pesky Funeral

[Youk Of The Nation]

I had to register just to call you a retard.

 

I had to go ass-to-mouth with your sister just because she wouldn't shut up. I know how it feels to be compelled to do something distasteful to make a point. Be strong, my friend, you did the right thing.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Yeah, and if that's what they wanted to do, that's what they wanted to do.

 

My great-uncle died last year. He was a great guy, I loved him like he was another grandfather. When he died, his funeral was set to be a full on Catholic religious-hoopla service. I personally did not want to sit through it, just to listen to a priest drone on about my uncle. Nor did I want to stare down at his completely stiff and artificially "beautified" corpse.

 

So I bought a bottle of his favorite liquor, drove out to the abandoned beach house he used to own on Long Island Sound, and poured the bottle into the sand near where he used to fish. Then I went to a bar, and if I recall correctly, I had chicken tenders and beer. Some people deal with grief in different ways. Why do we have to attack these guys for not participating in a ritual that they didn't want to participate in? If Theo Epsteins' kid (I don't know if he has kids) had their bar mitzvah, should the Christian players be assaulted for not attending because they didnt want to? Trying to impose your own moral values on the personal lives of players is just wrong.

 

All I did was respond to your question.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Yeah, with the unmistakable air of looking down on them for doing it. Way to work the 'beer and chicken' in there on top of it, because god knows that hasn't been beaten to death yet.

FYI - 2200 tickets left on Stubhub for tonight's game, starting at under $4.00 a ticket. Still overpriced. Lol

YES.

 

Nope. The StubHub tix were purchased by outside entities already. The only way the sellout streak ends is when the box office has tickets in their hands on game day.
