Redsoxchickie: Just This Side of Stalking

Opening Day happens to fall on Good Friday this year so Fenway was contemplating not serving hot dogs or sausages…apparently his Papal-ness is now the commissioner of the MLB.

What the hell??? (no pun intended) This country was founded on the belief that there be a separation of church and state. Apparently the basis of our 200+ year democracy doesn’t carry over to the ballpark. Are they going to serve tofu dogs instead? Teriyaki fish sticks at the Kowloon stand? Bean burritos at the Hilltop stand? I realize New England is heavily populated by repressed Catholics but come on, this is basically shoving religion down people’s throats in the form of clam chowda. I believe in the freedom of choice. I’m catholic and if I want to shove 5 Fenway Franks, 2 sausages and an egg roll down my throat that between me and my cholesterol level. Besides, do hot dogs and sausages really count as meat since we really don’t know what’s in them?…unless you’ve seen the movie “Great OutDoors”.

The good news is Fenway decided it was ok to serve meat even if the Vatican doesn’t…otherwise I would have led the revolt that would be know as the “Boston Weiner Party” where outraged citizens would throw franks into the Harbor and watch them disintegrate in toxic refuse laced water. The other good news is that I’m not going to Opening Day this year after last year’s fiasco. I will be at my friend’s house with a beer in one hand and mystery meat product in the other and loving it!!! All hail the wiener!!!
