The boos rained down at Fenway Park like a spring storm, and they weren't just booing the loss. They were booing ownership. They were booing management. They were booing what's become of one of baseball's most storied franchises.
"Sell the team! Sell the team!"
Those chants echoed through the oldest ballpark in baseball as the Boston Red Sox fell to 2-8, the worst record in Major League Baseball. Not just a bad start - the worst record in baseball.
Let me put this in perspective for you. This is the franchise that won four World Series between 2004 and 2018. This is the team that broke the Curse of the Bambino and became a model organization. This is Boston, where baseball isn't just a sport - it's a religion.
And now? Now the faithful are revolting.
This isn't just about 10 games in April. This is about a fanbase that's watched ownership gut a championship-caliber roster piece by piece. This is about Mookie Betts playing in Los Angeles. This is about failed signings and missed opportunities while the Yankees and everyone else passed them by.
The Red Sox ownership has been printing money for years while the product on the field has deteriorated. And last night, the fans had enough. You could hear it in every syllable: "SELL THE TEAM!"
I've been around baseball my whole life, and I can tell you - when the fans turn on ownership at Fenway Park, that's a moment. That's a breaking point. The relationship between this franchise and its fanbase, built over more than a century, is crumbling.
Two wins in ten games. The worst record in baseball. And a fanbase that's done watching their team get dismantled.
Ownership better start listening, because these fans aren't going away. And neither are those chants.
