So, ~70 comments went up on the K-Rod piece yesterday, including some of the swearing-free “you made it up/Photoshopped it” ones.

There were also a smattering of “You’re a Yankee fan,” “you’re a crybaby,” and all kinds of other random insults.

My wife was horrified. “Yankee fan?” she said. “That’s personal.”
