"The Red Sox epitomize everything that's vile and disgusting and sinister in this world. They hail from Massachusetts, the communist stronghold of the United States of America. Ted Kennedy. John Kerry. Amherst. That's Massachusetts. Supporting the Red Sox is like hoping the former USSR had won the cold war. It's a sign of low intelligence and poor breeding, that's what it is. Fucking Commies." - Michael Barnett

"In life, as in baseball, we must leave the dugout of complacency, step up to the home plate of opportunity, adjust the protective groin cup of caution and swing the bat of hope at the curve ball of fate, hoping that we can hit a line drive of success past the shortstop of misfortune, then sprint down the basepath of chance, knowing that at any moment we may pull the hamstring muscle of inadequacy and fall face-first onto the field of failure, where the chinch bugs of broken dreams will crawl into our nose.'' - George F. Will

I do not need to explain why I do it.
I am a wrestler.
