Double spaced?....lmaooooooo
BOSTON -- Seven rowdy Red Sox fans have a homework assignment, and it has nothing to do with baseball.
A judge has ordered them to write a five-page essay explaining what they have learned from their experience of being arrested after the Red Sox won the American League Championship Series on Sunday night.
The defendants must also provide proof to the court that their parents are aware of their arrests.
The seven were among 26 people -- many of them college students -- charged with disorderly conduct charges. A spokesman for the Suffolk District Attorney's office says many were arrested for ignoring police orders to clear the area around Fenway Park after the game.
Some in the crowd allegedly threw rocks and bottles at police.

Speaking of homework, here's what Rockies fans are doing....
Rockies Offer Fans Remedial Baseball Lessons to Prepare for World Series
In Colorado, where people have never quite been able to figure out the rules of baseball, Rockies management is quickly putting together remedial “Basics of Baseball” lessons to help their fans learn about the game. Also, to lure fans to the games in cavernous Coors Field, management is offering free ski weekends in some of Colorado’s swankiest ski resorts so that the team won’t have their typical embarrassingly low turnout. Only fifteen people showed up for Opening Day this year, and management had to bus in people from homeless shelters to fill some seats.
“We’re trying to do just enough so that we don’t humiliate ourselves on national television,” said a team representative. “We’ve been instructing fans that they should only be cheering for our team, what a fair and foul ball is, and why the catcher wears a mask. It’s an uphill climb. More people usually attend practices for the Broncos than come to our games. They want cheerleaders. The whole concept of a World Series is confusing them to. Some guy came up to me yesterday and said, ‘Don’t we usually play Taiwan in the World Series? How did Boston make it?’”
Fortunately, the Red Sox should make quick work of the “Just happy to be here” Rockies. And since their football team stinks this year, their fans can get a head start on ski season. “It was brutal trying to explain the infield fly rule,” said the team rep. “Let’s just get to Fenway, take our beating, and be thrilled we got as far as we did.”

If I recall, it was a pitcher, his name is Jabba The Hut, if I am correct, you should ask Glencar, however....

I finally figured it out. They call it the "WORLD SERIES" because that's when the entire world stops and watches the Americans play baseball. This year is exceptionlly universal because even the most isolated, primitive tribes in New Guinea have heard of the Boston Red Sox. |

Looks like the philanderer is pandering. . .his sleaziness knows no bounds!
GIULIANI COMMITS BASEBALL BLASPHEMY: HE'S ROOTING FOR RED SOX
October 23, 2007 -- BOSTON -- In an act of baseball blasphemy, Yankee die-hard Rudy Giuliani said Tuesday he's pulling for the Boston Red Sox to win the World Series over the Colorado Rockies.
"I'm rooting for the Red Sox," the Republican presidential contender said in response to a question, sparking applause at the Boston restaurant where he was picking up a local endorsement.
"I'm an American League fan, and I go with the American League team, maybe with the exception of the Mets," he said. "Maybe that would be the one time I wouldn't because I'm loyal to New York."
Giuliani's Yankees lost in the first round of the playoffs, then lost their manager when Giuliani's friend, Joe Torre, refused to accept a pay cut and walked away. Giuliani said the Yankees had "a great season."
The former New York City mayor said his declaration of temporary Red Sox loyalty was "not just because I'm here in Massachusetts."
"In Colorado, in the next week or two, you will see, I will have the courage to tell the people of Colorado the same thing, that I am rooting for the Red Sox in the World Series," he said.
Indeed, if Giuliani was pandering, he miscalculated.
In the last presidential election, Colorado went with Republican President Bush, and recent history shows Massachusetts voters would sooner adopt Manhattan clam chowder as the state's official food than vote Republican in 2008.
Of course, just to the north is New Hampshire - home to many Red Sox fans - and the nation's first primary.

That's ridiculous. Of course he'll root for the Sox. If your teams not in you go for the team that reperesents your league. I hate Guiliani personally but this is an unfair critism.... |
