September 17, 200718 yr Talk about sore winners. Griffin Whitman, a 10-year-old Red Sox [team stats] fan from Swampscott, was excited to attend his first Yankees vs. Red Sox game Friday night. The young autograph -collector was even more thrilled to score Yankees outfielder Shelley Duncan?s signature before the game. That is, until Griffin read the message from the 27-year-old rookie: ?Red Sox suck! Shelley Duncan.? ?It was cool to get his autograph,? Griffin said. ?It didn?t make me feel happy when he wrote that.? Griffin?s mother, Karen, blasted the Yankees slugger?s bad manners. ?This is someone who wears the Yankee uniform and is on the payroll and should be setting an example for 10-year-olds,? she said. Duncan, son of St. Louis Cardinals pitching coach Dave Duncan, has become a fan favorite in the Bronx for hitting mammoth home runs since he was called up from the minors in July. Yesterday afternoon, a Yankee spokesman declined to comment until he got a chance to speak to Duncan. Boston Herald I personally thought it was funny.
September 17, 200718 yr With a face like this: I guess you're bound to be a dick. I'd be pissed too if I was blessed with the mug of a sloth with Down Syndrome. This seriously shouldn't be getting a major newspaper's attention nor should a Yankees spokesman have to 'comment' on the 'situation'. Grow some thicker skin bleeding hearts.
September 17, 200718 yr The standings don't indicate the Red Sox suck so I think Duncan needs to get his priorities straight.
September 17, 200718 yr I personally thought it was funny. +1 Duncan is actually a good guy and I am SURE he meant no disrespect. He was having fun with the Yanks-Bosox rivalry and that's what you get. If I had an autographed jock strap from Jacoby Ellsbury that said "Yankees Suck," I'd hang it on the wall in my living room. That's what you are SUPPOSED to say. And oh btw, conveniently left out of this retarded article was the fact that Duncan sat around signing autographs for two hours while the crowd was chanting - you guessed it - "Yankees Suck!". Even if you are the kind of person that thinks players OWE the fans autographs, that is above and beyond.
September 17, 200718 yr The standings don't indicate the Red Sox suck so I think Duncan needs to get his priorities straight. Come back down to reality please. My goodness.

September 17, 200718 yr Theres ZERO hint of sarcasm in what you said, and ONE straight-sentence that someone is actually likely to say would not be enough to develop a recognizable bit of satire. You need to go back to the drawing board. To avoid continuing an off-topic discussion, PM me if you want to get in an "YOU'RE AN IDIOT! NO, YOU ARE DOUCHEf***! I HATE YOU!" argument. I'm game.
September 17, 200718 yr It's Festa. Festa's always jokes. It's ok. He's a sometimes poster, he doesn't know.
September 17, 200718 yr I think its pretty funny people are just out to make a buck anyway they can ... now the child is going to have some psychological issues

September 18, 200718 yr I despise prepubescent kids trying to get an autograph of anything that moves (especially players of opposing teams) so I'm loving this. Do you spoil Harry Potter book endings and tell playgrounds full of children Santa isn't real in your spare time?
