I Kind of, Sorta, Fuck with the Red Sox Again

I've wanted to write this for a few weeks, but I've been considering the effects of my reaction of the Mookie Betts trade. ICYMI, I sort of talked about that a lot here.

-I Officially No Longer Love The Boston Red Sox

I mean my idea of 2020 Red Sox boycott did work out well.

And I hate to do this when they're 19 games over .500 and in first place because it's easy to say, "oh, you're just jumping back on the bandwagon" well, not really. I was a die-hard Red Sox fan for over 15 years. I've forgotten more about the Sox than most people know. I stopped caring because I cared too much and was hurt by shady business practices, and sure, the Red Sox OF has performed quite well this year, but I'd still rather have Mookie Betts for the next decade. I don't love the Red Sox like I once did. I don't know if I'll ever be able to again, but I'm opening up to the idea of not despising them anymore for social and career purposes. I can't afford to throw away my baseball knowledge. I'm holding on to too much hate already between the GQP trying to ruin this country and my fucked up relationships with basically everybody I know lolol (including myself!!!). I have to let some go. The Mookie trade was the straw that broke Ole Dozo's back after decades of scumbag moves by ownership, but I'm the captain of my ship, and just because I hate those scumbag billionaires doesn't mean I need to cut off my nose to spite my face. I do still use Amazon after all :(​

The Red Sox have brought me great joy in my nearly 30 years on this planet and are an easy conversation piece/way to connect with people To be honest, COVID totally ruined my already bleak social life, so I need all the help can get. I wanted to write something better than this and will at some point, but my friend asked me if I wanted to see the Red Sox play the Yankees in NY for Jarred Duran's potential MLB debut before they trade him for 30 cents on the dollar someday. I've already turned down tickets to Fenway on a Friday night last month and realized I probably missed out on a good time. I'm going to THE Stadium to watch the Sox, and I am 1000% expecting them to lose since they're undefeated against the Yankees this year, and I'm making my return to fandom.
