Whats the big deal?

So the Red Sox celebrated their World Series win yesterday, and two of the former Red Sox, Derek Lowe and Dave Roberts returned to Fenway Park to join in with the celebration as their team had the day off. So Lowe and Roberts were given the same jersey as they would've worn last year when they received their ring, and out of no where, sports talk show everywhere were putting them down for wearing their old team's jersey. So whats the big deal? They were on the team last year, and they're only wearing it for the celebration. Last year is last year, this year is this year. Who cares if they wear last year's jersey for a celebration. They waited their whole lives for this moment, and we have people jumping on their back saying how they're not loyal to their team. Its only a 30 minute ceremony, let these guys enjoy it, it might be their only one in their career (seeing how one is with the Pirates and the other with the Padres). The Red Sox nations waited 86 years for this moment, and we have these people trying to spoil their party. Amazing what some people would do just to start a conversation. Another note, hats off to the Bronx Bombers for their gentlemen like behaviour yesterday during the Red Sox celebration. Unlike the Pistons and the Bulls several years back, the Yanks stood in their dugout, and applauded the Sox players when they were receiving their ring. I strongly believe that this rivalry is mostly created by the media to draw more audience. There will be some guys who hate each other from the two teams, but in the end, they're all baseball players, and in my opinion, they have mutual respect for each other.

Citys tomorrow, hope I do well...
