Fenway Unfaithful-O’s Scott rips fans 04.20.09 at 3:55 pm ET
By Mike Petraglia

Baltimore Orioles left fielder Luke Scott ripped the fans at Fenway Park following a 12-1 Red Sox win that completed a four-game sweep of Scott’s Orioles. “Glad to get out of here with negative people,” Scott said. “Just a lot of trash talking, a lot of vulgarity. It just takes away from the game.”

During the eighth inning, a fan threw a foul ball back over the Orioles dugout and into the field of play while Javier Lopez was pitching.

That’s not to say that Scott didn’t have criticism of his own team. As a matter of fact, he essentially blamed his pitchers, especially relievers, for getting swept out in the embarrassing four-game set.

“We didn’t pitch well, except for yesterday, but at the same time, the last two days we ran into really good pitching,” Scott said. “When we score runs, we’ve got to have guys hold it on the mound. When guys are struggling on the mound, we’ve got to pick up the slack and swing the bats. It’s a tough league, tough game, so we’ve got to make the adjustment.”

The series began ominously for Baltimore on Friday night when they scored seven in the second and jumped out to a 7-0 lead, only to lose, 10-8.

    Probaly the same classy red sox fans who mimiced Jim Eiesenrich when he had epilectic seizeures at Fenway about 15 years ago.

  • Vincent tamboli

    Your an Idiot!!! Eisenreich had Tourettes Syndrome, not epilepsy, two totally different conditions. Furthermore, they were not mocking his ailment as the illness was not well known, they were mocking his gestures wich at the time seemed to be directed at the fans themselves, 15yrs later with knowledge of the illness people understand it wasn’t voluntary and that he could not control himself, so before you go making a blanket statement check the facts.

    I’m originally from Walpole, but have lived near Baltimore for the last 8 years. It is the same thing that I say about the O’s fans who whine about how people from up there come down and take over during every series – you put a good team on the field, people will be positive. Luke Scott needs to shut his cakehole until Mr. Angelos ponies up and puts a quality team on the field.

    And by the way, those ushers in the orange sport coats at Camden Yards need to remember that my money, even though I’m wearing a Sox hat and jersey, is as good as anyone else’s.

    Shaddup!

    Mr. Scott just isn’t used to playing in front of fans. He thinks it’s perfectly normal to play in an empty stadium. Stop crying and play baseball, Luke.

  • http://supergoddessgirl.blogspot.com rebecca

    Clearly sour grapes. He needs to stop crying like a girl and just accept the fact that his team was beat, fair and square. I find it hard to believe that fans in any market don’t taunt other teams and/or players on the field.

    Were the fans vulgar when they cheered his injured team mate Scott Freel for being able to get up and not be seemingly terribly injured after being nailed by Masterson? Right…………

  • joe

    okay this coming from the guy who looks like hes back in 1986.

  • ScottieB

    Waaaaaaaaaaah!

  • Johnny from Burger King

    Awwwwwwwwwww muffin, were the big meany Red Sox fans not nice to you? Well dry your eyes little buckeroo, you’ll be back home in Baltimore soon where the fans don’t hurt your feelings….They just don’t go to the games.

  • bill donovan

    I may be an idiot vin, but at least i know how to spell. GO parrk the cah in Harrvarrd yarrd.

  • mike williams

    i hate when people use “pahk the cah in hahvad yahd”. dude, NOBODY ever says that in real life. you want to mimic the masshole accent, use the phrase “short porch”. for example: “went to the bronx, watched the yanks give up tons of dingahs over that shot poch in right…”

    I was there Sun & Mon. So one bad apple spoiled the bunch throwing a foul ball on the field interrupting the game? And Fenway’s Faithful responded…..appropriately booing that guy’s stupid move.

    It’s also the same fans who nervously watched Scott’s teammate Ryan Freel lay motionless on the ground for 2 minutes yesterday only to limp off the field to a Standing Ovation. The same fans started arriving around 8 am at the park.

    If anything the pink hats were overzealous on cans-of-corn that got loud applause simply because it brought the end of an inning. It’s a diverse group, still the best fans in baseball.

  • robbie the ripper

    you’re all a bunch of f***ing idiots
    start acting like sober people instead of a bunch of
    hopped up, drunk Yankee fans.
    everyone one of those aholes needs to be thrown out.
    as for looking like 1986, i’m all for it, instead of bunch of
    baldheaded Nazis. F-Off

  • LETCM

    Hey Mr. Donovan,

    You know how to spell??? Please educate us stupid Boston fans as to what “mimiced” means then.

    Thanks, ya dolt.

  • LETCM

    Mr. Dononvan,

    Whilst you’re at it, a definition of “epilectic” would be appreciated as well.

    Again, I’m a stupid Boston fan. Sorry to fill up your day.

    Thanks again, tool…

  • LETCM

    Robbie,

    You need a hug…

    I wish we had some context for what Scott said–was he talking about incidents near the dugout? His whole impression of Boston and Boston fans? Seems like a bizarre thing to say. On the other hand, I’ve gone home after games myself muttering about how I don’t like trash talking and vulgarity. Seems that if you can post the .mp3 of a few seconds of talk, you might be able to post more of what he said–maybe even the question that elicited that response.

    If Luke Scott can’t handle Kids’ Opening Weekend at Fenway…

  • Tek-Fan

    BooHooHoo!!! I have been going to Fenway since the 70′s. Yesterday, I was at the game in “field section 76″, two sections away from the O’s dugout towards the outfield. There were some rather loud fans between the O’s dugout and the outfield. It was heckling the pitcher and players that pissed Scott off. At the beginning of the game three O’s tried to catch a hit up the 3rd baseline and the ball hit the ground. BUHAHAHAHAHA…I laughed and cheered too. It happened right in front of me. That’s when the heckling really got going and continued throughout the game. Heckling has always been a way to take a player off his game and it worked yesterday. Poor Scott, his team got their butts swept by the Sox. Not the first time the Sox have swept a team and it won’t be the last. Buck up you cry baby!!!
    GO SOX!!!!!! The next game I’ll attend will be 5/7. Whoot-whoot

    In spite of his somewhat inelegant manner, Robbie the Ripper is right. Baseball fans should not get drunk and start screaming vulgarities at any of the players for the most important reason of all: There are young kids at these games who should be subjected to that kind of language. In addition, these jerks who do this are setting piss-poor examples as to how adults should act. So, Robbie, you are absolutely right; and, having been a former “hippie” I also think that the skinhead look is ugly.

    Correction…What a difference a word makes..!!

  • mike w

    I have been to many games at Fenway and the fans have been pro Sox, but appreciate a good game. Even if they cheer for the other team making a good play or having a good game.

  • Tek-Fan

    I have to say that of all the heckling I heard coming from where I was, none were vulgar. The fans were not removed because there were NO vulgarities coming from the section I was in. I have seen people removed for screaming vulgar comments at past games. Fenway has a phone number posted that anyone can call if they feel the need to have someone removed for bad/vulgar language. I still stand by the previous statement, “Heckling has always been a way to take a player off his game and it worked yesterday”
    As for the folks upset about straight heckling; I would venture a guess that you were first in line to say that t-ball shouldn’t have a winning vs losing team because they’re all winners. WRONG, when two teams compete no matter what the level; there is a clear winner and loser. (unless it is a run for run tie) I agree…As for kids not needing to be subjected to that kind of language…but, honestly they hear far worse in the music they listen to and at school. Get ready for the double-header tomorrow!!!!
