NYPost – The Yankees will have “home-field” advantage at Fenway Park tonight, thanks to one fan’s grassroots effort to sabotage the Red Sox. Ian Ferris, 30, a Bombers fan in the heart of Red Sox Nation, green-thumbed his nose at Boston by planting Yankee Stadium grass in the Fenway infield during a May 31 Phish concert. Yankee Stadium grass seeds went on sale this year. Ferris hid the seeds in his pants as he entered Fenway, filled the bag with water and tossed it onto the infield. “This is payback,” said Ferris, who manages a Hooters in Vermont. “If even one blade of grass sprouts on the field, I feel it was a success.” He said he hoped the stunt would undo the jinx put on the new Yankee Stadium by a jersey-burying construction worker, Gino Castignoli of The Bronx. But Castignoli is not concerned. “My curse is working,” he said. “It’s typical of a Yankee fan to think you can buy a jinx in a bag. When will they learn, you don’t win with your wallet but with your heart?”

Oh shit. We’re fucked now! I knew we shouldn’t have concerts at Fenway! Too risky! I wonder if this means that that empty seats will start sprouting at Fenway to? Honestly what type of loser do you have to be to not only do this, but then run to the NY Post and brag about it. Nobody cares dude. Nobody fucking cares. Now maybe if these were Devil Rays seeds it would be a different story, but not Yankee seeds. And for all those people who are saying this series is a test to see how good we are or somehow will be an indication of things to come you’re crazy. Yes I get it. The Yankees vs. Red Sox is the best rivalry in baseball. But it’s June 9th. This series has absolutely no bearing on anything besides temporary bragging rights. Sure you could argue that New York needs to win this series just to prove to themselves that they are capable of beating us, but I don’t even think that matters. A win or a loss is no more important than vs. any other team at this point. I know it’s the mentality of Red Sox Nation to get all worked up into a frenzy whenever New York comes to tow, but it’s so overblown it’s not even funny. Bottom-line is that no matter what happens over the next three games I’m still more worried about Tampa than New York.
