You don't understand what it's like to be from Boston. I'm born and raised here...probably gonna die here too. The Red Sox are a major part of the fabric of this City, actually all sports are. My father took me hundreds of Celtics games in the 80's, followed by Regina Pizza. I met my wife on Marathon Monday at a Sox game. Every single person I know has the photo of Bobby Orr diving across the net somewhere in their house. I literally cried when the Sox came back to beat the Yankees in 04. If you're from here you understand, and you'll have your own version of this...

The Red Sox have the right to talk about the "bombing" they're part of the healing process.
