Burying the hatchet with friends and/or family who root against the Sox

by winningugly on Mar 7, 2010 3:02 PM CST

I have an acquaintance who is a die-hard Twinn fan who has fallen on some hard times - leg injury preventing him from running, losing his job, no discernable intimate relationship (hey, karma is a bitch). He's a nice enough guy, but I don't need someone around cloaked in failure AND a Twinn acolyte. He's been telling me for weeks he has a "present" for me and I'll either "lose all respect" for him or thank him. Whatever. Yesterday he bestows upon me a Sox hat. Not even one from this era, but the lettering from the '80's (I will wear it 5/21).

What the hell do you do when someone who roots for the hated (insert team here) and gives you something Sox-oriented? How do you respond? And have you ever given a "peace offering" to a hated (insert team here) fan? And I don't mean a team that "oh, I'll root for them as long as they are not playing the Sox" bullshit, I mean a team that you cannot stand. Feel free to elucidate.

(Buehrle Man, you are a partial inspiration for this, what with your opening the Pandora's box of hate with your focus on the playa's.)

gis "sweep the third leg"

I'd rather have Rios steal 50 bases than hit 50 home runs. I want production.

That is amongst the funniest things you have ever posted.

Says it all.

Jim Leyritz- Didn’t like him as a player and then he killed that broad driving drunk.

I have not given any peace offerings to fans of other teams...

but I did have a friend, who happens to be a Cubs fan, steal my beloved 1983 style Sox hat.

Next time I see him, I’m kicking him in the nuts. Thanks for the idea, larry!

you cut their hamstring, so they push everything off to the left.

Just a Rip-off of the Actual El Guapo, but a fake not funny one.

this is our concern, WU!

At the very least it probably is covered in small pox.

my friend, who is a twins fan

got me a nice charlotte knights hat. i got him a ticket to the sox-twins doubleheader where the twins beat the sox 20-14 and 12-0. :(
(maybe this doesn’t technically qualify under your guidelines as the twins are not my most hated team. i would root for them in the playoffs against the yankees every time.)

you are certainly one of the more ridiculous people on this board. ~ larry

Wow.

I am seriously considering a bonfire.

i live up in mn now,

so i get a lot of shit as a sox fan. But I did have a girl friend (die-hard twins fan) get me tickets to a sox-twins game. Also, in 2008 after the the fourth game of that series in the metrodome and i was at the edge of a cliff, my twins fan friends bought me a six pack of 312.

I can’t think of a single nice thing i’ve done back though. I guess minnesota nice only goes one way.
