In what has become typical of August, the late summer invasion of the Red Sux* fans is underway.  It all began yesterday morning on my bike commute into work.  I was coming down Conway Street from the Camden Yards Warehouse, crossing Howard Street.  What did I see crossing the street just before 8:00 AM?   A Sux fan in full regalia–crisp, new Red Sux hat, his Red Sux hat.  I was sorely tempted to run into him with my bike just to vent my frustrations over a long period of bad baseball and the annual invasion of these New England nitwits.

On my ride home, there were more of the Sux fans.  Many of them wearing their “After 86 Years of Ineptitude, 2 World Series!” t-shirts.  It was even worse as I listened to some of the ball game on the radio on my ride home from the gym later in the evening–hearing the “Let’s go Red Sux!” chant.

After heaping scorn and hate upon many Yankees fans, I have truly come to hate and despise most of the denizens of Red Sux Nation.  It what was once a nostalgic and somewhat endearing tale when they would come to the precipice of victory in the Fall Classic.  Now, they have become pariahs as they have effectively become that which they have rejected so much–the Evil Empire of New England–equal to their arch-nemesis, the New York Yankees.

God, I hope the Rays win the AL East.

* For the uninitiated, my contempt for the Boston Red Sox has forced me to give them a new name: the Red Sux.
