Sportsball

I don't hate baseball. I quite enjoy it on certain occasions. And I certainly don't begrudge those that really get into it. I get excited over lots of things that most people would find boring or insipid, so I have no place to judge what other people find interesting.

With that said...

WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK BOSTON?!? IT'S JUST A BASEBALL GAME.

Seriously. I'm glad you're having a great time, but the world doesn't need to start and stop because the team you're vicariously living through wins or loses. Campus-wide warnings and 'safe alternatives to enjoy the game' should not be required. Cops should not have to patrol the area all night. I shouldn't have to be kept awake until 3 in the goddamn morning because assholes are driving up and down Huntington Ave., holding their car horns down, and yelling "WHOOOOO, RED SOX!!!" We shouldn't have to worry that there will be more needless violence like that which occurred during the Patriots riot or the Red Sox riot in 2004 - both of which led to the deaths of college students.

Maybe I should get into the things I like as much as people get into the Red Sox. You know, I'm still really fucking pumped about that A Wilhelm Scream CD. I'm going to hold it over my head and run up and down the street, kicking over trash cans and yelling my brains out, at 2 o'clock in the morning. I feel that is my prerogative. The whole city needs to know just how much I like them.
