"She's seeing red" June 30, 2008
WITH ALL the problems going on in this country, it's ludicrous that such a fuss is being made about pink Red Sox hats.
It's bad enough that this region is overly obsessed with the Red Sox. So what if there are pink hats?
Get over it, and grow up.

I know how you feel, lady!
But that doesn't stop the Globe from wasting more space with it:
"Sox fans' true colors take many forms"
"Stop and think what that cap may stand for"
And the SPORTS don't stop on the letters page (don't they have their own section?)!!
Oh, no, we gotta get an OP, too!
"Take us out of the old brawl game" by Padraig Shea | June 30, 2008
Padraig Shea, a student at Emerson College, was formerly an assistant in the Globe editorial department.
Oh, I see.
Work in the newsroom, get an op piece published.
Can they scream rank elitism any louder?
So what would he do to prevent future brawls? Bring interrupters into the clubhouse. Designate a veteran player or coach on each team (someone with gravitas among ballplayers) to cool off steamed centerfielders and prevent saber-rattling like Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon's "comes around goes around" threat after the Rays had left town.
--MORE--"
Ummm, how about an op on how to PREVENT MORE WARS instead?!
Pfffffttt!
Oh, that's right!
The "newspaper" is in the business of PROMOTING WARS!!!
And why would the Globe completely remove this story from its website, especially when there is a top-of-the-page photograph of them?!

"Kicking back at the Bigham fund-raiser.... As fund-raisers go, yesterday's benefit for the Charlotte Saltonstall Bigham Memorial Fund was a good time. Not only was there a mechanical bull set up at host Nancy Adams's Chestnut Hill home, but a troupe of self-described "yummy mummies" did a humorous dance to "Baby Got Back."
A rap video featuring big butts shaking in the screen all over the place.
Kicking it old school were Arthur Winn's wife, Alicia; nightclub king Patrick Lyon's wife, Kristina; and Sukey Forbes Brigham. (The women, all wearing pink tank tops with "Yummy Mummy" written across the front, were later joined on the dance floor by their children.) Charlotte Saltenstall Bigham died in 2004 at the age of 6 from an episode of malignant hyperthermia triggered by a fever."
Look, I know it is for charity and a good cause, so WTF is with the censorship?
Being a sex object is just fine, isn't it -- as long as you aren't a pregnant teen in Gloucester, huh?
