Why I loathe Dan Shaughnessy, Reason 42,876

So, after the Sox take 2 of 3 in Yankee stadium, you would think that this would be cause for celebration, right? Not if you're Dan Shaughnessy, a.k.a. CHB (thank you, Carl Everett). The guy who feeds vampirically off negative emotion is at it again.
One loss takes away "all the good feeling" from two wins. Is that how life is for you, Dan? .667 winning percentage not good enough? Winning a series on the road is not good enough? Being 6 games ahead of the Yankees with a month to play is not good enough? 2.5 games ahead of the Twins for the Wild Card isn't good enough?
I swear this guy is a vampire. He never actually writes anything demonstrating interest or knowledge of any sport. All he does is feed on negative emotion, that is, when he isn't jumping on the latest trash-the-local-star bandwagon.
I was a kid in the Boston area in the 70s. I remember when the Globe had a stable of the best sportswriters in the nation. What's happened? Why is Shaughnessy even delivering mail at the Globe?

anybody but Jeter wins the MVP

I never understood the argument for Justin Morneau. I really think he was the weakest of the top ten or so candidates, and that includes two of his teammates: Joe Mauer and Johan Santana. Santana would have been my pick, while Ortiz, Hafner, Thomas, Dye, and even Jeter would have been better candidates. I would have even put Pudge and ARod ahead of Morneau. (OK, not ARod.)

Jeter wins Aaron award

I guess there's no doubt about the MVP then, is there?
Jeter is not the best hitter in the AL. This award is silly.

How about a pro-Manny diary!

Some things to keep in mind:
- Before Manny Ramirez came to the Red Sox, we had essentially no power hitting at all. All we had was Nomar, who isn't really a classic power hitter. And that's how it had been since Mo Vaughn left.

Don't feed the trolls

Seriously.
When a troll shows up and spends his time bad-mouthing the Red Sox or gloating about the Yankees' recent good fortunes, the best thing to do is simply ignore him. Trolls get emotional satisfaction from pissing people off and are not interested in intelligent or reasonable conversations. They love any kind of attention and will continue to post ever more inflammatory comments simply to get people riled up.
