This Is Red Sox Nation!

Well the Toronto Blue Jays AA manager looks like an ass.

He Manages the New Hampshire Fishercats the AA affiliate of Toronto. Last nite when Buchholz left the game he received a standing ovation from the Boston faithful in Manchester, NH.

Bill Masse said to the New Hampshire Union Leader following the game "I think it's sad. This is New Hampshire's team, Manchester's team and to see Clay Buchholz get a standing ovation was absolutely disgraceful."

Someone should tell Mr Masse that these fans are here to watch some cheap baseball but there blood runs Red Sox Red and they live and die by the Red Sox.

The Fishercats front office should also sit down with him. After all the team knows what their fan base is, They sell Red Sox merchandise in its giftshop and are even having a David Ortiz bobblehead night Friday.

That was what I posted on Yanksfan vs Soxfan a few moments ago.

Mr Masse needs to understand if not for the good nature of the Boston Red Sox the Fishercats wouldn't even be playing in that beutiful stadium in downtown Manchester, they had to approve the teams move there because it falls within their territory.

And of couse, since day one speculation has always been that Boston will eventually move its AA affiliation to New Hampshire from Portland Maine.

Wether that will happen remains to be seen, but the bottom line is New Hampshire is Red Sox nation. Heck Toronto even seems like Red Sox nation when Boston's in town.
