Bostonherald.com - Shortly after the Yankees’ new Boss, Hank Steinbrenner, complained about “what a bunch of (expletive)” Red Sox [ team stats] Nation is, Red Sox principal owner John Henry has responded. Sensing jealousy, Henry is killing Steinbrenner with kindness. He’s adopting him as one of his own - an offer Steinbrenner has already rejected“I’m a big Hank fan,” wrote Henry in an e-mail to the Herald. “Just to ensure he knows how cool Red Sox Nation is, (Saturday) we officially inducted him as a member of Red Sox Nation and we are sending him his membership card giving him access to an array of options including our newsletter, bumper stickers, pins, Green Monster seats and a hat personally autographed by David Ortiz [ stats].” When told about the offer, Steinbrenner said no thanks. “I am not joining Red Sox Nation, honorary or not,” Steinbrenner told the New York Post yesterday at Yankees headquarters at Legends Field. “I’ll respond to that later. Trust me, I am not joining Red Sox Nation.”

Can’t you just picture John Henry and Tom Werner sprinting into Theo’s office right after they sent this package to Hank Steinbrenner giggling like little school girls about what they did.    And Theo probably had to fake laugh like he thought this was the funniest thing he’d ever heard.  I mean did John Henry really think this was funny?   Well newsflash John.  It’s not funny and neither are you.  So do me a favor and stick to being creepy and chasing chicks half your age.    This way nobody gets hurt.
