the booing is a reminder that the fans are paying attention.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

agreed...having been on the field at Fenway during a concert it's amazing how close, loud the crowd in the stands is and how out in the open one feels surrounded by 25-30 thousand..and that was pre-concert. Felt sympathy for the likes of the Steamer, felt a bit guilty for booing Bob, Will Clark, Matt Young (..we don't need any more examples ..right?..)
So let's say it fine to boo ...it does mean folks care, are passionate about the team... and let's say it's fine for a player to talk about it, it's a harsh stage, goat/hero a play away.

But as Fans we should know if we are about to cross a line from passion to puerile/painful/personal.. (^adult beverage consumption nearly always involved).
And as a Player... know that conseling the withholding of recognition(tipping the cap) from the majority of fans (for the fans sincere show of appreciation) because of booing is going to raise the hackles of folks invest time, money, and heart in the team.

if anybody wants to take a lesson from the '06 season.. enjoy those chances you get to go to the game and enjoy for heaven's sake the privilage of playing it.

but still .....Steamer had those boos' coming

I dunno about the "boo" situation, sure it hurts the players because they are trying their best, but the price of tickets hurts my wallet even more. If fans are paying $45 for a decent seat (and sometimes its obstructed view) I think they're entitled to react how they want. I mean if you put a $165 million dollar team out there, aren't they expected to win and not put dead corpses out on the field? No, not that I can remember. Do D-Rays fans boo their players when they dont succeed?
Why is that? Because the D-Rays are supposed to suck.

Last two players I remember booing were 2005 Millar and the dead body with a bat that is Javy Lopez. I booed them because I'd rather not see them in the lineup.

When players fuck up continuously on the field, for a team with a payroll that you can buy a small island with, I think in certain cases boos are deserved. Do you guys feel bad when A-Rod gets booed? I'd like to meet the Sox fan that does...

I think another part of it is that being a Major Leaguer is a dream I'm sure that everyone on this board has had. You may not admit it but I'm sure we're all subconciously jealous of the guy and when we see a player perform badly day in day out, isnt it human nature to boo him?

And what about the dicks in the game? I think Carl "I don't believe in Dinosaurs or the moon landing" Everett deserves to get booed when he sucks, because he's an asshole. What about Albert Belle? Wasn't he a huge dick? Well not a good example because he was a cock that put up great numbers, but still you catch my drift.

And you know this how? From the Knights of the Keyboard who hounded him out of town? Everywhere Everett has gone, teammates have said that he's a good guy, helps the youngsters, plays hurt, competes to the best of his ability. Everywhere. But he's a bad guy in Boston because the CHB and a couple like him decided that he was. And you bought this crap hook, line and sinker. Congratulations.

Personally, if I ever see Dan Shaughessy out in public, I'm going to boo HIM.

Didnt ever read a Shaughnessy article when Everett was on the team, and havent read a Shaughnessy article in recent memory. Don't assume things, I'm sure you know what that does.

I was referring to the fact that he's a crazy fucker that doesn't believe in anything thats not written in the Bible and hates homosexuals. I'm pretty sure that article wasnt written by Shaughnessy.

Hell I just googled his name and there were dozens of articles by guys not named Shaughnessy who basically call him a dick.

"My locker is next to his," shortstop Nomar Garciaparra says, "so I try not to get into long conversations with him. I'll just say, 'Uh, gotta go, Carl.'"

So, you hate the guy because he doesn't believe in dinosaurs. I don't know what's more pathetic; Everett not believing in dinosaurs or you hating him for it based on some article you read somewhere by someone you don't know. Now, THAT'S crazy.

No, I dislike him because of his raging ignorance. Seems like I touched a nerve, do we have some hidden Everett manlove here?

And there are several people "I don't know" that write those things about Everett, the general consensus is that he's crazy.

The newspaper is filled with people that you or I don't know, does that make a difference? No, it's called journalism, it's their job. I'm not quite sure what you're trying to get at....
