Some people have some really interesting views of fandom. Take these for instance:
The other evil empire - Op-Ed - The Boston Globe
Rant: Wear your Yankee caps on your own beaches - Extra Bases
Pot, kettle, black. I don't really care who people root for, or how they do it, as long as they know who they're rooting for.
Of course, some people go out of their way to make a statement:
St. Petersburg man arrested for planting hoax device at Trop - abcactionnews.com
Oh, it was a practical joke, okay - you can go then. Cap tip to chowdah for the better link.
Rest of the links are about pitchers present and past, with a special defense of JD.

Wake by the weekend? - Extra Bases
When asked when he might be ready to pitch, Wakefield said, "Tomorrow." He added, "It's a matter of testing it out. Gotta push the envelope now. We're running out of time. So push it as hard as I can go, see what happens. Maybe this weekend in Chicago."
Taz was warming up last night, so that might keep him from starting this weekend.

Not sure why they didn't just do a list of right fielders by WAR, but whatever.

Beckett's release point on July 1:
Release point from last night:
6 inches, at most, lower than on July 1st. Also a flatter group - fastball's not coming from as high up.

So, a 6 inch lower release point...
Do you think this is a fatigue issue? The ESPN broadcasters went out of their way to say that Beckett was ‘overstriding’. That also could cause a lower release point.
The ESPN broadcast also demonstrated, convincingly I thought, that Beckett had very poor control the first few innings. It looked as if he did straighten out the problem later on, which ended the gopher ball problem he’d been having.
He would not have given up a 5th run, either, except for a muffed foul popup by Youk with two out.

Agreed.
IDK about the ESPN broadcast – I was stuck watching the Rays’ broadcast, which was actually in HD for last night’s game.
