This Just In
AP -- (Boston)
The Boston Red Sox have decided to end the 2011 season early, cancelling the remainder of their schedule. General Manager Theo Epstein reportedly sent a computerized message to manager Terry Francona, telling him to "fucking bag it, dude." Sox ownership will reportedly give full refunds to all fans who request them.
After extensive discussions amongst ownership, G.M. Epstein, and consultant Bill James, the Red Sox franchise will, for the first time in team history, give up. The statement released by the team: "It is with much sadness that we cancel the last 16 games of the year but the media has convinced us we have no chance. A sad day in Red Sox history, but a necessary one for closure. We should have given up in 1978, too."
