I have absolutely had it with this Red Sox team.  The lack of respect from the top down, starting with the owners "respect" for the fan base to the most blatant sign of disrespect from the players that thought it was more important to go to Josh Beckett's charity drink-fest instead of going to Johnny Pesky's funeral, is down right disgusting.  I never thought I would say this, EVER, but I am rooting for every other team the Red Sox play this year, including the New York Yankees.  I hope these overpaid, under-achieving assholes lose every single game the rest of the year.  In fact, I wish they would have left the Lowell Spinners in the Boston clubhouse after Futures at Fenway to finish the season.  At least you would have a collection of players, managers and owners who seem to care about the game of baseball and be proud to put on that uniform day in and day out and represent their team with pride and dignity.

I wanna touch on the Pesky funeral for a minute.  To quote Dr. Phil, "WHAT WE'RE YOU THINKING?"  I cannot believe the players, manager or owners didn't step up and make this a mandatory team "event".  Johnny Pesky, arguably, the most important person to the Red Sox franchise since Ted Williams, had only four members of the 25-man roster show up for his funeral.  Four??  FOUR!!!!!  Are you shittin' me?  Mr. Pesky, over his 70+ years of service to the Red Sox, meant more to the team then probably anybody else involved with the organization.  He was the Red Sox!!  And for the players to disrespect him, his family, the organization, the fans and themselves in this matter in inexcusable.  But I'll be damned if those players weren't getting their drink (and maybe fried chicken) on at the annual Beckett Bowl that night.  Apparently, they couldn't take an hour out of their morning/afternoon to attend the funeral of a Red Sox legend.  They had to get their rest so they could "John Lackey" (double fist drinks) for the evening.

And where were the owners in all this?  Weren't they the one's who, with open arms, welcomed Johnny Pesky back into the Red Sox clubhouse after MLB and the previous owners kick him out of the dugout?  Weren't they also the one's who made sure he was there in St. Louis when the Sox finally broke the Curse of the Bambino in 2004?  And now the "Three Amigos" decide not to honor the man, so beloved by Red Sox fans everywhere, by telling the players it's optional to show up?!?!  To that I say... SCREW YOU!!  To this entire organization!  From the owners, to the managers, to the players, to the training staff.  Hell, even the peanut, hot dog and beer vendors.  Ok, maybe NOT the beer vendors - they're cool.  But you get my point.

From here on out, I am root, root, rooting for the other teams.

And somewhere, Ted Williams is shaking his head in disapproval.
