As another man once said, “all this negativity that’s in this town sucks.”
As any Boston sports fan knows, Shaughnessy’s column was just the latest in an interminable string of ad hominem attacks, veiled and unveiled. He did it to Pedro, he did it to Nomar, he’s done it to Manny. Now it’s Theo’s turn.

He’s got to know damn well that he’s the most hated sportswriter in this city. But he doesn’t seem to care. Simply put, it’s all too apparent that Dan Shaughnessy doesn’t really like the Red Sox. He prefers gossip, innuendo, and axe-grinding. Maybe he should get a new job.
