BOSTON -- There's a tradition of driving past Fenway Park on I-90 and giving it the finger.
Of course, that tradition started Wednesday night, but whatever. It just feels right, doesn't it?
That tradition carried over to Thursday morning. Sitting at breakfast in a Boston hotel restaurant, oopsies, I wore my Yankees bandanna. A waitress politely asked where we were from, as if the blue, red and white Yankees logo and the script "New York Yankees" wasn't a tell-tale sign.
I pointed to the bandanna for my response.
"What are you guys doing here in Boston?" she asked.
"Giving Fenway the finger!" I responded.
She laughed. But sensing her Bostonian pride - did they have any before 2004? - was about to get crushed, she retaliated with "You know, we do that too to Yankee fans."
"Yeah, but the New York finger is so much more powerful."
"Is that right?"
"Yep. Here, I'll show you."
And with that I gave a Boston hotel restaurant waitress the finger before noon!

If blogging was baseball you'd be in the Gulf Coast League.
And I'd only have to work once every five days! I'll make that trade any day.

Hmmm...
I suspect you like your eggs a little more runny than most people.
