Peter, you are absolutely right. Still, I totally expect to receive internet crap in return for internet crap I post, and rarely if ever take it seriously . . . hence my "Sturgeon's Law" motto below. ;)

Shoot, on the internet, expecting 10% to NOT be crap is the height of optimism, if not outright lunacy. :r

Great ceremony for a great player at Fenway, after a long standing ovation, the Sox presented him with a painting, his number 42 that is put up on the green monster scoreboard when he pitched, the #42 seat from the original fenway seats, the pitching rubber from the visitors bullpen and a check from the owners for his foundation.

Then a ESPN video highlight and some "man on the street comments".

Very classy Boston!! :tu :tu

Re: Mo Gets His 602nd Save
 

Love Papi going out to meet him and walk him over and Dustin giving him a hug. Now let's just make sure they don't need to bring him in for the game, unless it's a blow out for the Sox and they just want to give him one last time on the Fenway mound.

After living in Boston for almost 20 yrs I can honestly say that I never heard a bad word about Mo, lots of "god damn it"s etc., but one of the classiest guys to play the game and ever Boston fan, ok ever REAL Boston fan, not the stupid college kids etc., respected the hell out of him. It's not like he's Arod or Joba or any of them, sure people talk **** about them but not about Mo, and to go further while we all know Jeter was a terrible defensive player, same for him, he might be selfish, but always a classy guy on the field, Captain Intangibles as it were.

Nice Mo walking to the Fenway bullpen (classy move to put him in even in a loss) and the fans clapping for him and were all reaching over and he stopped to shake hands with the Red Sox faithful.

Edit: First of all, we hope a loss, secondly he's just standing there in the pen chatting with the fans, nice.

It was a message for the bullpen attendants.

Nice gesture for the bullpen guys. Now if the rats that infest Fenway don't eat it away, like they've done with the REST of the wall. :r

Re: Mo Gets His 602nd Save
 

No the rats left town last night after they got swept. :)

Here's the video of the tribute, including a few seconds of the quartet playing Enter Sandman.
