Would "Yankees Have Bad Pitching" Tees Be Better?

Oh how Bostonist loves irony and when speaking about the Red Sox right now, we think it is all very ironic. The Herald featured an article yesterday about how Red Sox management is discouraging fans from sporting their eloquently worded, "Yankees Suck" t-shirts when visiting ol' Fenway Park. They kindly ask fans to turn their classy t-shirts inside out, because those "Yankees Suck" t-shirts aren't very "family-friendly." According to the chief communications guy for the Sox, "We are determined to keep Fenway a place where families feel comfortable." Bostonist would like to point out that the t-shirts don't actually shout out that the Yanks suck; those are the fans who lead a park-wide chant of "Yankees Suck" when Jeter steps up to the plate. Perhaps a little talking to the crowd about good sportsmanship will do the trick? Right now, the shirts aren't fully outlawed at the park, but Sox management legally does have a right to ban any sort of offensive material.

Bostonist thinks the shirts are dumb, but if you enter any mall in America, you'll see that logoed tees are all the rage these days. The sense of irony is that the Yankees do in fact "suck" this season, so the shirts aren't even that clever, but just rubbing their Yankeed noses in it. But, after the Sox just lost two games to the atrocious Kansas City Royals, bringing the Yankees only 2.5 games behind the Sox, Bostonist must ask, who sucks more right now?
