It is a fact that the Red Sox suck. 80 years to win a championship says so. What the **** did this kid expect? He got what he deserved in my eyes. And to the Mom: Duncan is getting paid to play Major League Baseball not tend to your child’s emotional needs.

People still play baseball? I gave that up when I was like, 12. That’s when I discovered girls and Real Life.

Griffin Whitman and mom: Get a freakin’ grip.

Shelly Duncan: Nice name. Yankees suck.

Eric: Thanks for bringing humor to an otherwise humorless group of people.

Hey Boston Eric, I love the Sox and hate the Yankees, but you suck.

Your post is proof that you people (you and Yankee fans) are really alike in that you all take yourselves and your teams too seriously. Instead of just having another detail in the rich history of the rivalry, you and your ilk ruin it by getting offended.

As a Dodger fan it would give me no greater joy than to have some a-hole like Barry Bonds or Barry Zito write “Dodgers Suck” on a notebad.

And let’s not forget for most of the past 100 years, the Red Sox really did suck, especially when it came to game 7.

Wow, such anger about a funny story. Maybe it’s because I don’t take sports seriously. Despite that, I’d love to have an autograph like that (or if I had kids, I’d love for them to have it). It’d probably go for lots of money on ebay, or I’d just keep it because I’d laugh the every time I looked at it.

While an avid BoSox fan myself, I still think that’s a pretty awesome autograph. Not only is it the autograph, but evidence of a century-long rivalry that can’t be topped anywhere else in baseball. I dare say that that autograph WILL be worth something some day, and not because he called waaaaaaaambulance (I actually liked that movie–thought it was cute). It is baseball fanaticism to its core.

Hey Eric , Obviously your a Geek and dont know sh** about baseball. It was unprofessional and immature for some kid who makes millions of dollars to be a complete disrespecting jack*** (like yourself) to some little kid who no matter what looks up to all pro players and wanted his autograph ….. Sox - Yanks games are the biggest and best rivalry in sports …along with the hate comes straight up respect from both sides…….Get with it moron. The only one who Sucks around here is you ……….Hopefully that autograph becomes famous and makes the kid some bucks down the road….. Now go back to your bedroom at your parents house and type something real.

Eric, I’m suggesting the kid should learn to value people for their character and not their athletic prowess…I’m not saying athletic prowess and character are incompatable. I am saying batting average does not necessarily correlate with admirable qualities. Why not actually learn about a person’s actual character…then start the hero worship? Why seek a players autograph just to have it…then expect the same random player to also have character? STUPID.

I’m also saying that assuming because someone is paid a lot of money they must also be a good role model is stupid…Shelley is not paid to be a good role model to 10 year old boys…he is paid to catch, throw and hit small round balls. Athletics is rediculously over emphasized and over admired in our culture.
