Luke Scott's an asshole.

Case closed.

[AlNipper49]

I agree with him and with that I find a great source of pride.

[ShaneTrot]

I watch sports because I like athletic excellence, grace (or catastrophic failure) under pressure, rooting for the hometown team and of course, to root against the opposition. So it is fun to have athletes that do not have enough brains to keep their mouths shut. Keep it up Luke Scott and Brandon Jacobs, there is nothing like rooting against you and reveling in your mediocrity.

[Foulkey Reese]

Luke Scott, Kyle Farnsworth, Joe Maddon, cowbells, stupid cat DJ, and noted rapist Josh Lueke.

Rays are going to be a fun team to root against this year.

[TheoShmeo]

This only makes me want to go to more Sox games in Baltimore going forward.

It's interesting that he's picking on Boston fans when NY and I assume Philly during inter-league games also completely take over Camden.

He's on the Rays now

[brs3]

Who is this Luke Scott guy? Can he prove he was born in the United States?!

[TheoShmeo]

He's on the Rays now

I know. But the venue that he lamented Sox fans taking over is Baltimore. Presumably, if it annoyed him, it annoyed his Baltimore teammates. Here's to more of that.

And between that horrible stadium, the annoying cowbells and where that stadium is, I have no desire to travel down to Tampa just so I can heckle this asswipe.

[Laser Show]

My favorite part was this:

'Go home Boston! Pack your bags. See you next year.

Let him enjoy this. After all, he has only had 3 plate appearances in the postseason, in the NLDS with the 2005 Houston Astros.

[24JoshuaPoint]

I think he's a weenie.

[Bongorific]

Wait a minute. Luke Scott is still on a MLB team? Luke is not very good at the baseball.

[brs3]

He's much better at stupid than that.

[OnWisc]

"I rolled down the window and I'm like, 'Ah, hah, sucks doesn't it, when someone laughs or makes fun of you when things aren't going your way.'"

And I'm like, so Luke Scott essentially took the first opportunity he had to laugh or make fun of other people when things didn't go their way.

Given his apparent distaste for vulgarity, I'm sure this is precisely how he worded it, too. Boy I'd hate to be the Sox fan outside Camden Yards that night who caught such a vicious broadside.

[InstantKarmma]

Luke Scott's an asshole.

He's also a birther:

"[Obama] was not born here," Scott asserted to Answer Man in the session's last segment. "That's my belief. I was born here. If someone accuses me of not being born here, I can go — within 10 minutes — to my filing cabinet and I can pick up my real birth certificate and I can go, 'See? Look! Here it is. Here it is.' The man has dodged everything. He dodges questions, he doesn't answer anything."

Baltimore was probably the most overrun of all of the away stadiums with Red Sox fans. If I were an Oriole, that would bug me too. On top of that, the Red Sox have had the O's number for quite a few years.

I find it hard to believe that Yankee fans are in any way less vulgar or obnoxious. I think I'd feel more or less the same way he does if I were in his shoes, especially if what he says about how he or his teammates were treated by RS fans is true.

All of that said, I don't give half a rats ass what Luke Scott thinks. Any fall from grace is accompanied by rejoicing of the previously oppressed.

[Andrew]

I'd rather be arrogant and vulgar than ignorant and racist.

[xjack]

Luke Scott participated in an ESPN special a few years ago in which he said he never drove anywhere without a loaded handgun in his lap. The guy has a screw loose.

[stevman17]

Luke Scott has officially made me interested in heckling athletes again.

[rembrat]

Well, yea.

[Savin Hillbilly]

I made it to the Yards for the first time last August. It was the day after the hurricane blew through, and the Yankees were in town. We bought tickets on the spur of the moment (there were lots of seats available at every price level, on the Sunday before Labor Day against the MFY).

What amazed me was that in the upper-deck section we were in, not only were there more Yankee than Oriole caps....there were more Red Sox than Oriole caps.

If the Orioles want to be pissed off at fans, they should be pissed off at their own. Opposition fans' vulgarity is not usually audible if your own fans show up.

[darnedsox]

so....he leaves one team semi-dependant on visiting club fans to fill seats to a team totally dependant. cool

[Toe Nash]

Luke Scott wasn't even playing in that final game (or series). Or any game past July. It would be like Dice-K talking trash.

[Oil Can Dan]

Where's Pedro when you need him?

[drleather2001]

I think people have dealt with the Yankees being annoying for so long that they just take it as a given.

"Yankees in town? Oh boy, gonna be packed tonight! Hot game!"

There's this bizarre feeling, I also think, among casual fans that Yankees fans (and perhaps players too, I dunno) have somehow earned their right to be everywhere at all times, because "THEY'RE THE YANKEES!" In other words, the Yankees are baseball's version of the Harlem Globetrotters. In the eyes of many, they can do no wrong.*

It must sting for them to have to deal with another team in the same fashion. I doubt it has much to do with the fans themselves so much as it's just an embarrassing thing to deal with. I have no doubt that if Rays fans started invading the Rogers Center every time they played the Blue Jays, Jays fans would think Rays fans were the most annoying fucking team, with the most annoying fanbase, ever.

*There are, obviously, exceptions to this. I am pleased to live in a place, Minnesota, where people hate the Yankees more than any other team with the likely exception of the White Sox, who are their predominant division rivals. People here begrudgingly respect Red Sox fans, but loathe the Yankees. Not even close.

I expect part of Bobby V's trying too hard will be to drill this guy

[mauidano]

I love this guy! Everytime he opens his pie hole he has something ridiculous to say. Joe Maddon is going to have a good time with this piece of shit. Beckett needs to get back in good graces and buzz the tower.

Good one Luke

That's the class he was so gracious to find in St. Louis. I guess it exists only there, no?

Has anyone else had this happen to them? A couple of seasons ago I scored a seat 15 rows above the Sox dugout in Baltimore. This was a getaway game won by the Sox in extras, thanks in part to all of all people Julio Lugo, and the day after the Sox infamously blew that huge lead and lost to the Os in what remains the greatest comeback in Os history. And the whole time he's leading me to my seat, the usher is killing me, in Scottian terms: "You people come here and you take over this place and you think you're so good and it just pisses me off . . .this is our place and you should respect that . . . blah blah blah." The whole time.

Then he dried my seat. And I tipped him.

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Luke Scott should suffer a fate similar to Steve Irwin's. But instead of dying near the Great Barrier Reef, he's going to be found in a three foot kiddie pool in right center.

He sounds like just a miserable human being.

[joyofsox]

That teabagger thinks Sox fans are vulgar now? Wait until April 13!

[Fishercat]

I cannot wait to hear the crowd when Boston's first home series comes against Tampa if Luke Scott even comes out of the dugout. Granted, there's the potential that he's the dumbest player in baseball until Elijah Dukes makes his comeback, so it's almost a compliment.

You have to tip those guys?

These sounds like a time where a tip was worth it.

[pedro1918]

Luke Scott participated in an ESPN special a few years ago in which he said he never drove anywhere without a loaded handgun in his lap. The guy has a screw loose.

He also hides loaded guns all around his house. One day we will hear about a visitor to Luke Scott's home who sat on a couch and shot him or herself in the ass because there was a loaded handgun between the pillows, just in case an intruder broke in. I only hope it's Luke himself.

[ToeKneeArmAss]

Baltimore was probably the most overrun of all of the away stadiums with Red Sox fans. If I were an Oriole, that would bug me too.

So I get it that it would bug you that your ownership put such a shitty product together that the local fans would stay away in droves, leaving lots of seats for Red Sox fans to snap up. But that's not about Red Sox fans.

I hope Luke and Elijah get in a fender bender down in Florida and exchange gunfire instead of papers.

As would I but luckily we can choose to be neither.

Yes, but does Valentine wade into it with comments? Can't wait for that one.

[Beomoose]

Thanks, Luke, for giving me a reason to go to a Mariners-Rays game this season: to heckle your bench-sitting ass.

[Joe Shlabotnick]

Luke can go fuck himself. Asshole, birther and dickwad. This guy hit the trifecta.

[Smiling Joe Hesketh]

Boy his first visit to Fenway this year will be all warm and fuzzy.

Luke Scott's lucky he's good at baseball, otherwise he'd be picking up my trash.

[rembrat]

How much trash do you have?

[Smiling Joe Hesketh]

I can be very trash-productive if I know Luke's swinging by.

[24JoshuaPoint]

I can be very trash-productive if I know Luke's swinging by.

And trash-selective.

That's awesome. Thanks, brother. You made my day with this.

And trash-selective.

I'll feed the baby Indian food and make sure the resultant diapers are waiting for him.

[TomRicardo]

This thread title is extremely misleading. Luke Scott doesn't think.
