YOU WANT MY RESPECT?????????
June 26, 2008
RESPECT IS EARNED, IT CANT BE BOUGHT.
EVERYONE KNOWS THIS, FOR IT IS TAUGHT.
SO MANY PEOPLE, HAVE NONE FOR THEMSELF.
PASSING THEIR JUDGEMENTS, ON SOMEONE ELSE.
EVEN IN BAD TIMES, SAME IS THE COST.
CANNOT EARN RESPECT, WHEN YOUR OWN IS LOST.
TRY AND YOU'LL FAIL, NO MATTER YOUR PAIN.
STAY TRUE TO YOUR OWN, AND THEY'LL GIVE THE SAME.
OPENLY DISSING PLAYERS, PUTS YOU OUT OF THE BOX.
XPECT TO BE TREATED, HOW YOU TREAT THE SOX!
THIS IS MY LITTLE POEM OF RESPECT THAT I TRY TO HEED MYSELF! I RESPECT ALL PLAYERS WHO GRACE OUR UNIFORM! THIS SITE IS DEDICATED TO THE GREATEST TEAM IN BASEBALL, IN MY EYES! I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE PEOPLE WHO COME HERE AND TRY TO TALK DOWN A CURRENT PLAYER, OR SAY A PLAYER OF OLD SUCKS, OR JUST SAYS NEGATIVE THINGS ABOUT ANY OF OUR ALUMNI! THIS SITE IS A DEDICATION TO OUR TEAM! ITS HERE FOR US TO PRAISE THEM, TO TALK ABOUT THE PAST STORIES WE ALL SHARE! EVEN THE DISAPPOINTING YEARS BEFORE WE WON IN 2004 HAVE MANY MANY GREAT MEMORIES FOR ME! I LOVE OUR TEAM! I MEAN I TRULY TRULY LOVE OUR TEAM! I AM SAD IN THE OFF-SEASON WHEN THE GAMES ARENT BEING PLAYED AND NESN HAS POKER ON ALL THE TIME OR SOMETHING! I GET EXCITED WHEN SPRING TRAINING STARTS....AND CANT WAIT FOR THAT FIRST PITCH! AND EVEN IF A PLAYER ISNT PLAYING THAT GREAT......I CHEER HIM ON TO TRY AND BOOST HIS CONFIDENCE!
THERE ARE A LOT OF NEW FANS OF OUR TEAM NOW THAT THEY'VE BEEN DOING SO GOOD, AS IT HAPPENS IN EVERY SPORT! AND SOME OF THEM JUST EXPECT US TO BE GREAT FOR EVERY SINGLE GAME. THEY GET PISSED WHEN WE LOSE A GAME TO A CRAPPY TEAM, OR THEY LASH OUT AT A PLAYER WHEN HE GETS IN A LITTLE SLUMP. BUT US DIEHARDS WHO HAVE BEEN HERE THROUGH THE ROUGH YEARS......WE KNOW.....YOU CANT WIN EM ALL! YOU CANT HIT A HOMER EVERY AT BAT! SOMETIMES YOU'LL PITCH A NO-HITTER.....SOMETIMES YOU'LL PITCH INTO GRAND SLAMS! SOMETIMES YOU'LL STRIKE OUT, SOMETIMES YOU'LL HIT BASE HITS! WE TAKE WAY TOO MUCH FOR GRANTED WITH OUR TEAM OF PLAYERS.........BUT YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER ONE THING.......THEY ARE THE TEAM THAT MADE IT POSSIBLE TO WEAR THAT SOX CAP WITH PRIDE! AND I MEAN THE WHOLE TEAM! PAST, PRESENT, GOOD AND BAD! AND THIS SITE IS ONLY POSSIBLE BECAUSE THEY ARE A TEAM! OUR TEAM!
GO BACK UP AND READ THE FIRST LETTER OF EACH LINE IN THAT POEM....THE RED LETTERS GOING DOWN! THATS ALL U NEED TO DO TO EARN RESPECT FROM ME! BECAUSE I AM NOT A NEW FAN...... I "AM" A "TRUE" BOSTON RED SOX FAN!
