The Sox Are Struggling. Boo-Hoo.

They were crushed by the Yankees last night.
I know, I know—every time I write something like this, the Sox go out and crush the Yankees in return.
But I’m going to enjoy this satisfying victory in the first Yanks-Sox matchup of the season.
“Obviously we’ve got to have better at-bats,” said Dustin Pedroia, who was 0 for 4.
Yup.
There was a little controversy as Yankee pitcher Michael Pineda was apparently using pine tar on his hand to help grip the ball. But since the Red Sox do it also, no one made a big thing of it.
Said David Ortiz: “Everybody uses steroids pine tar in the league. It’s not a big deal.”
Tonight looks to be Jon Lester vs. CC Sabathia. Should be a good one.

Have all (or any) of the signers of the letter, stopped using fossil fuels? Have any of them even stopped using the fuels of the fossil fuel companies that Harvard holds?

Your steroid fixation with Ortiz is getting old. How about you focus on guys who really used them - AFraud, Clemens and Pettite.
You are the pot calling the kettle black.

A few thoughts:
1) I like how when a Yankees player cheats, you pass it off as “a little controversy…” Yes when a Red Sox player cheats, we get this: https://richardbradley.net/shotsinthedark/2013/10/25/red-sox-cheating/
2) On the subject of hypocrisy, it’s interesting to note that when a Sox fan misspelled “traitor,” you ridiculed the literacy skills of Red Sox fans (https://richardbradley.net/shotsinthedark/2014/04/02/typical-red-sox-behavior%E2%80%94and-literacy/). When the Yankee Stadium scoreboard misspelled Ellsbury’s name, you wrote nothing.
3) Have you considered that you are a bit obsessed with the Red Sox? Your last five baseball posts have been about them. Even when the Yankees beat them, you headline your post: The Sox Are Struggling. Boo Hoo.
