Proof it's THEM not US

Nothing but class here...what more could you expect for a defending champion?

My personal favorite pull quotes:


Blinding confidence and go-getter ambition from Aubrey Huff, after getting hit with the pitch that started it all:

"That's Yankees-Red Sox," Huff said. "We're the last team on their minds."

****

David Ortiz proving that if a career in baseball doesn't pan out, he could always do voice-overs for Sesame Street:

"That ball almost hit me in the head," Ortiz said. "That's dangerous. I think they need to stop the hitting thing."

****

Trot Nixon acting on the clause in his contract which mandates at least one "idiot" reference in press conferences, after any instance where the team clearly fucks up:

Nixon said someone poked him in the eye, which made him "furious." He wouldn't identify which player it was. "If I wanted to be an idiot, it could have been worse," Nixon said.

****

I know everyone hates how the Yankees never fight back against the Sox. And everyone is always like, "Those Yankee-Sox brawls! Oh, those 2!" As if we are talking about Betty and Veronica or something. But the Red Sox just suck. That's all there is to it. Their fans, their team. They're not "idiots" anymore. They're defending champions. They need to stop acting like Jack Nicholson at a Lakers game, gratuitously getting fired up just for the sake of it.

They may be world series champs, but to me, they're a joke.

The 2 aren't mutually exclusive.
