An added bonus to the 15-2 start is that some MFY fans are literally losing their minds. There's this highly entertaining diatribe from NYYFans.com:
"There is absolutely no way that the Red Sox aren't cheating again. If anyone suggested it last season before they got caught, there would have been a cry heard round the world, a lot of if from Yankee fans who just "hate" when we accuse the Red Sox of things and "that's why everyone hates Yankee fans." Well they were doing it and got caught. And got a five-second slap on the wrist. I have no idea what those perennial cheats have done this time, but much like the "clear", it's apparently undetectable at this point. And we don't have a seasoned manager who has the time and expertise to pay attention to that stuff. Boone's learning managing on the job, and so that other stuff isn't even on his radar. Don't forget that it was Girardi who exposed them last season. No other manager had caught on to it.
Don't tell me that the same team who did virtually nothing to improve their team all of a sudden is full of Babe Ruths. They have beaten up on the best pitchers in the league. They know what's coming before it hits the plate. And their manager was once a member of their team, so he's well aware of their culture and so would have no problem with them finding a way to cheat. And as the hideous little injured creature (karma's a bitch) said last year when they got caught, "hey no big deal. We were stealing signs in junior high school." They absolutely worshipped at the throne of the King of Dominican milkshakes, the one who Pedroia said would always be one of his closest friends. Hell even the Boston sportscasters all opined that Ortiz was still taking steroids last season!
All I can do as a baseball fan is hope and pray that they get caught at whatever they're doing. But with MLB happily turning a blind eye to anything and everything, I don't have a lot of faith it's going to happen. Guess I'll just have to rely on karma.
For any astute fan with knowledge of baseball at Fenway - no, not Red Sox fans; I wouldn't expect them to acknowledge anything except supposed greatness, like the year the Red Sox broke the curse, with Ortiz and Manny batting back to back... - for any astute fan, keep watching. It would take Girardi unfortunately to figure this out since nobody else did last season. Actually since it was Pedroia who affectuated the cheating last year, here's a little conspiracy for you. Pedroia isn't injured, he's working things from the dugout. When the Red Sox have pulled far enough ahead and the division is theirs easily, he'll miraculously recover and make it back to the lineup."
