Tampa Bay Rays pitcher David Price handled himself in a regrettable manner after giving up seven runs in a Game 2 ALDS loss to the Boston Red Sox. For starters, the left-hander ripped David Ortiz for admiring a home run. He then took to Twitter to brag about all of his accomplishments during his MLB and collegiate careers, as if any of that mattered following a playoff loss.
Price later apologized for his rant and admitted it got out of hand. But before he took aim at his critics and Big Papi, Price’s girlfriend Tiffany Nicole was on Twitter venting about how classless Red Sox fans are.
Convinced that there must be a written rule that in order to be a Red Sox fan, you have to be a complete and utter POS. Wow!

For those of you who are unaware, “POS” stands for “pieces of s—.” Naturally, the Red Sox supporters came out of the woodwork and began bashing Tiffany for grouping all fans together. Others called her names and basically told her to stuff it, but she refused to back down. She claimed fans were throwing trash and taunting opposing players’ children.
@sportstalkmatt trash throwing, taunting the players' kids. Yeah, I said pos. If they don't like it, treat people better

If that stuff was actually going on, there’s no excuse for it. I’ve been to Fenway Park several times and heard plenty of opposing fans get harassed, but I find it hard to believe that Tiffany would have trash thrown at her given the section she was probably seated in. She also agreed with her boyfriend that Ortiz pimped his home run.
Wow he pimped the crap out of that homerun. #KeepItClassyBoston

This certainly isn’t the first time we have heard of significant others or families of players being harassed by fans. Josh Hamilton said his wife needed extra security when the Angels visited the Rangers this year and one NFL linebacker once said his team’s own fans made his fiancee cry. Unfortunately, that is the risk you take when wearing another team’s colors to a big game. Am I saying it’s right? Not at all, it’s simply reality.
Bonus material: In case you’re interested, Price’s girlfriend also tweets stuff like this:
Can you Dutch oven someone with their own poots? Or is it called something else then?
