Boston was in a celebratory mood Sunday night after the Red Sox polished off the Indians for the American League pennant. Some Bostonians went a tad overboard in their glee and 26 people were arrested for disorderly conduct when they failed to obey orders from the Boston Police Department. The cops were out in force to try and avoid the kind of melee that led to the death of a 21-year old college student after the 2004 ALCS. The arrested were arraigned yesterday and seven of the revelers, all teenagers, were given an unusual sentence by the aptly-named Judge Edward Redd. They are barred from being inside Fenway Park at any point in the Series and will have to do a little homework to show that they've learned something from their busts. They'll have to write a five-page essay about the experience of being arrested and get them signed by their parents before returning for their next court appearance.
Color me doubtful that any of the essays will rise to the level of Martin Luther King's "Letter from Birmingham Jail." I'm guessing that the only thing most of them learned Sunday night was that Dustin Pedroia is wicked awesome.

1. Guy,
Dude, sorry that I got arrested. The Sawks winning was pissah and all, but I went f'ing nuts and I totally apologize. If this is going on the record, I just want to say that Ellsbury is my boy and that dudes had been sleeping on him before. Not me. I knew he was gonna be the tits in the minors and all other douches are just jumping on the bandwagon I'm driving.
In conclusion, your honor, the Rockies are a bunch of knobs who are going down, kid! The only thing that should be booked here are the heavy odds of the Sawx taking this ish in four!
Pax Bostonia.

2. How many times do you have to write "don't taze me, bro" to fill up five pages?
