In an effort to lively up the quality of the postings which you all are so tired of, I offer this. From A Hamburger Today: "Last Tuesday (June 28), after allowing five runs in the ninth inning against Cleveland, Red Sox pitcher Keith Foulke blamed jeering homefield fans for his failure, referring to them collectively as "Johnny from Burger King."
The comment has offended some folks up Beantown way who see it as a slap in the face to the hardworking, low-paid fans who essentially help pay the substantial salary Mr. Foulke no doubt earns.
It has also inspired some Photoshopped illustrations that play on the incident, as seen at right and here.
