I criticize Theo Epstein, not due to my insane upbringing as a Boston sports fan or my paternal demeanor towards the teams, but due to the misaligned perception our GM has been receiving since he has been running the Red Sox.

WTF, Ortiz. I knew it was too good to be true. All those quotes against other who did steroids, your words, everything is tainted. I am fucking pissed. Make it up with an amazing season, because your time is limited.
If you just told the truth, Red Sox fans would’ve brought you back with open arms. [...]

“I looked up and I was like, ‘Holy Cow, he’s actually doing it.’ Everybody around me was giving me a hard time saying, ‘What the heck, he’s wearing White Sox stuff.’ That’s how we roll in Chicago, we got the president behind us,”
