Sox fans are all ready for A-Rod and the Evil Empire tonite. Here is a sample of some ideas Red Sox Nation has come up with, taken from the Boston Globe website:

Some of the responses we’ve come across on Boston sports radio station WEEI and on our message boards have been pretty creative, including a movement suggesting that fans wear blond wigs (a jab at “Stray-Rod” and his cover girl) or shout “Mine!” (in reference to his disruption of a pop up in Toronto) every time A-Rod steps to the plate
Some fans have gone so far as to call WEEI offering to donate money (to the Jimmy Fund) if the Red Sox play David Rose’s song “The Stripper” over the Fenway loudspeakers before the game while the Yankees are on the field.
A-Rod isn’t the only one inspiring creativity in Red Sox Nation. Sox fans are letting their Yankee counterparts have it as well. Among the messages to Yankee rooters from Sox fans in one of our online discussions:
The Boss's New T-shirt: "I spent $195 million and all I got was the 2007 Yankees."

No wonder they're called the "Bronx Bombers."

Good thing Clemens is coming back to the Yankees. They are going to need him to hold off the Devil Rays.

Interested it hitting the Yankees while they’re down? Add your message to our growing list ...
Are Sox fans piling on a bit at this point? Maybe ... but hey, who can blame them after last year’s five-game Fenway sweep by the Bombers last summer. Enjoy the payback ...
