I recognize the historical context of the game, etc. I can even appreciate it to some degree. I'm not a single-minded fan who only likes my team and just barely enjoys the game. I love baseball 24/7, 365 days a year.
However, to ask me to ENJOY this moment is something that I can't do with a straight face. Maybe if it were some nobody pitcher on the Sox, I might feel even remotely satisfied to have witnessed this in my lifetime, but Buehrle is either my #1 or #2 (depending on the day and what AJP is up to) most hated current Sox player. He HATES the Cubs and everything they stand for. HATES Wrigley. HATES us. He has made that perfectly clear on several occasions.
So please, please, please don't ask me or anyone else to be happy for him. Good for the game of baseball, but fuck Buehrle right in the arse.....repeatedly and until it bleeds and his entrails spill out.
