You're Welcome. Sincerely, Fenway's Faithful

'though it seemed like sour grapes, because our team got swept,

(Fenway's Angels looked down on the Red Sox and they wept)

New York's Yankees came to Boston... Beat us all three games.

Fenway's Faithful spent the weekend calling A-Rod names.

Someone had to do it, 'though it's fitting it was us.

Other ballparks might have felt they oughta make a fuss

When the record that's been held by legend Willie Mays

Fell to one whose steroid use affected how he plays.

That would be embarrassing.  In Boston we ignored

Any ceremony for the home-runs A-Rod's scored.

Don't be worried baseball fans.  We booed him for your sake.

You are welcome.  It's a sacrifice we're glad to make.

Dear New York Yankees... A-Rod? Really?

I've always said he was dirty.  (Photo/sbnation.tumblr.com)

I do not like A-Rod...  I'm a Boston Red Sox fan

Who can't figure out why Yankees choose to play the man.

Muddying their history and tarnishing their brand;

Why the team's employing him, I'll never understand.

Each time that he takes the field a bit of Yankees dies.

Are they really falling for a steroid user's lies?
I've got admiration for Rivera and for Jeter;

Wonder how they like the fact they're playing with a cheater.

Yankees Swept from ALCS - Is That You, Sports Gods?

Could it be the sports gods are relenting, just a bit?

How else to explain the fact the Yankees couldn't hit?

Not surprising A-Rod was so bad 'cause, after all,

He is always really ineffective in the Fall.

Cannot blame their pitching staff for, up until last night,

They ensured the Yankees had a chance; the games were tight.

But, although the scores were close, they'd lose by 1 or 2.

If Yankees don't hit the ball what can their pitchers do?

Where the heck was Robinson Cano' now Jeter's hurt?

Looked like Red Sox players last year (save the pinstriped shirt.)

Mr. S. is feeling down but I've begun to hope

Sports gods may be smiling on me...  Is that taunting? Nope.

Simply an acknowledgement that, for a Red Sox fan,

Nothing brightens up the day like Yankees losing can.

But, I wouldn't dare to taunt before we play the Jets...

Not when sports gods showed the Seahawks' Sherman what that gets.
