I'm so sorry your dad isn't with you anymore.

I miss mine terribly. One of my best Sox memories of him: he was all over the 2004 playoff phone calls with me through the bad and then through the awesome. Several days later, I called him on that wonderful night-the one with the full moon and the lunar eclipse-after the Red Sox took it all in the World Series. He had fallen asleep in his chair 'cause the game, to him, was boring. Priceless. He wouldn't have fired Papelbon either; it was bats, pure and simple.

First thing he said to me and my brothers was this: "These players have made it to the top of their profession. They are the besdt at what they do so even if they make an error, you never boo them. Not your team or the other team." That was the world he grew up in. I have never booed anyone either. It's embarrassing to see people who do this because it is beneath your dignity as a person to jeer another human being who has made a mistake.

Now I do remember a jerk to my right that kept loudly explaining how much he hated Papelbon and I so wanted to shut him up. Love the blog today Cyn. It is so stupid to blame a swept series on one player. This is a team sport people! I heard a lot of groaning and I had heard booing for the pitch calls but I just don’t remember people booing Paps.
