Such deep sentiment has been a burden for Bosox players over the years. So to insulate themselves from that kind of pressure, this Red Sox squad cultivated an attitude better suited to its needs: staggering immaturity. They sported hairdos of unknown origin, beginning with Series MVP Manny Ramirez, whose locks spilled out of his hat like they were trying to abandon ship. The players treated every game as though it was, well, a game. They were the polar opposites of their rivals from New York (no facial hair, no fooling, no fun). They were the anti-Yankees...
...left field, but that's more of an address than a position. On bad days, he fields fly balls like a Border collie, running left and right to herd the ball toward him. He can forget standard obligations: running to first base on a grounder, say. Last fall the Bosox offered him to any team that would eat the remainder of his $160 million contract--no takers. Lucky for Boston. Ramirez this year was calm and focused and hit a ton. "This team has a mentality that it will pick you up when things go wrong," he told TIME...
...yeah, I’ll admit it. I should be pulling for Orioles phenom Miguel Tejada to win the MVP this year instead of BoSox hero David Ortiz . I should have shouted about how awesome it was to have Michael Jordan playing for the Washington Wizards instead of making fun of him. I should have rejoiced when the D.C.

I should have done all of these things if I were a real homegrown sports fan, and given...

I realize that any observer is more attuned to recognizing his own, but everywhere I turned there was a red, white and blue World Champions or Super Bowl T-shirt, a Pats sweatshirt or cap, or a mix-and-match outfit: Pats shirt, Bosox cap, or vice versa. Evidently when Tom Brady turned to the camera and announced that Adam Vinatieri?s boot had, just moments before, spurred in him an epiphany and that, hey, he was going to Disney World, all of New England had said as one: ?If Tom?s going...
We’ve seen just about enough when Topjian’s roommate, Christopher Roma-Agvanian ’03, who is working the game as a food vendor, finds us behind the BoSox bullpen. Clad in a yellow apron and matching Boston hat, Roma-Agvanian gives Topjian and FM a pound and looks awkwardly at Suga, who offers a pound but receives a handshake. Roma-Agvanian says he has worked over 300 games at Fenway and boasts of the peanut-tossing arm he has developed. “I’ll hit you 50 rows...
