The Red Sox are Answering Negative Tweets from Opening Day and It's Glorious

It’s said that “history is written by the victors.” Specifically, Winston Churchill said it, and he should know. Because the history he wrote was “Fuck you, you single-balled, paper-hanging bucket of guts” in the ashes of a bunker in Berlin with his own piss.

It’s also said that “revenge is a dish best served cold.” And the Red Sox ought to know because their Twitter feed took all the negative Tweets they got after starting the season 0-1, double wrapped them, put them in a ziplock and kept them in the freezer until serving them up just now.

There are many ways to write the history of the winningest season in the almost 120-year existence of your franchise, and they’ve chosen to it by settling old scores. By finding old posts from March 29th that haven’t aged well and replying today. And it’s magnificent. Just a masterclass in petty vindictiveness:

That is PhD-level “How you like them apples”ism and I couldn’t love it more.

Hopefully it doesn’t end here. It’s one thing to teabag a bunch of Twitter eggs which, while fun and amusing, is pretty much punching down. I’d love to see this continue to where they start punching a little higher. Start taking a victory lap on the heads of all the media dopes who said 108 wins doesn’t mean shit, their bullpen is garbage, Dave Dombrowski gutted the farm system with nothing to show for it and they’ll never get past the Yankees, never mind the world champs or the Dodgers. If you’re going to take the low road, go all in and leave no one alive because it’ll be the perfect punctuation mark on the most successful season they’ve ever had.

Well done, Red Sox social media department. Well done indeed.
