At least Price has learned quickly that it's a fruitless quest to get any sort of love from the Boston media. Even Pedro, who may have a statue outside the stadium one day, got a ceaseless raft of shit from sports radio, beat writers, columnists and everywhere else, particularly when he went from 1998-2001 PEDRO, all-conquering god, to 2002-2004 Pedro, all-star and legend. The difference with the Boston media vs less-rabid markets, in my experience, is that you're never "their guy", they'll never stick their neck out for you or make excuses for you or bias their coverage to make you more popular. Other markets tend towards homerism because it sells and it's symbiotic with the hometown team's needs, but that's not been the pattern here, not for many decades at least, if ever.
As someone said upthread though, this can't be an idle threat by Price. If he truly wants to ignore the noise and focus on pitching, he needs to resist the ego gratification of looking for what people are saying about him on the internet, in categories both "professional" and amateur.
