I got into an argument yesterday with a woman (who was previously a friend. I've known her about a year) over BASEBALL. Of all things. I told her that I thought Boston wasn't going to be playoff worthy this year, despite the AL East being a tight competition. They've got major injuries, for some reason they aren't clicking this year. YET. I also admitted that its rather early in the season and the Sox could turn it around, though I don't expect them to. Mind you, I AM a Sox fan. Orioles and Nats come first then I like the Sox. Well, apparently this wasn't good enough and she proceeded to bash me down and tell me I didn't know what I was talking about and blah blah blah. And I said, "hey, I'm just saying my opinion, you blurting out stats left and right is fine, but the Sox have been incredibly inconsistent so far." Well then the name calling started, I was stupid and a dumb-ass and an idiot. So the conversation has degraded so far that I figure what the hell, and I trolled the hell out of her so I could at least get some entertainment out of it. She got SO mad that she then posted on one of my facebook statuses, calling me a "loser" with "a useless college degree" (I'm in grad school for human sciences, which a broad topic that compasses social work, psychology and thanatology) and that I need to get a "real job". Then proceeded to delete me from facebook before she could read my reply.

Over baseball. Because I wouldn't change my opinion. IS THIS REAL LIFE?

That's a lot of drama.....for "Sox can't get there this year".
I think she needs to some " real prescriptions meds".
