Yeah, but I'll be spending several months in Boston working on a film so I wanted to practice up. Now I just have to learn to hate everything I'm scared of or don't understand and get better at mocking the Yankees. The Yankees bit will only be tough because I don't follow Baseball much.
It's not that hard. Two tips to get started:
(1) They aren't the "New York Yankees," they're the "M****[*]F*****[*] Yankees." (Depending on how much of a Boston accent you have, that word could have anywhere from 11 to 13 letters.
)
(2) If they're on
this list, they are the Enemy.
(3) Some quick tips for recognizing the Good Guys:
Jacoby Ellsbury = flies around field, kinda like Moss
Dustin Pedroia = smaller than Wes Welker
David Ortiz = mini-Wilfork
Jason Bay = Canadian
Kevin Youkilis = scary goatee guy
Jason Varitek = old goatee guy
Mike Lowell = Hispanic old goatee guy
And, of course, there's some guy in RF who may or may not be JD Drew.
Pitchers:
Josh Beckett = tall pitcher
Jon Lester = shorter clone of Beckett, with bigger ears
Justin Masterson = looks like he should be a TE for the Pats
Jonathan Papelbon = acts like he's on some really, ahem, interesting meds
