Tampa Bay Rays ace David Price was smacked around by the Red Sox during Game 2 in Boston, giving up seven runs over seven innings pitched in the Rays 7-4 loss to the Sox on Saturday. A frustrated Price took to Twitter after the game to not only remind fans of his various accomplishments in college and MLB, but also to bash the TBS analysts who criticized him following the game.

After tweeting out his resume and going to the classic jock “nerd” insult a couple times, Price apologized for his tweets the next morning and his manager, Joe Maddon, called it the “perfect example of what not to do” on Twitter. But now Price is back in the headlines because of Twitter, but it’s not because of his own tweets this time…it’s because of his girlfriend’s. Price’s lady friend, Tiffany Nicole, attended both Game 1 and Game 2 of the ALDS at Fenway last week and she had some less than kind things to say about Red Sox fans during that time.
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!

Wow he pimped the crap out of that homerun. #KeepItClassyBoston

I just want to pick up the kiddos…shower…and go to sleep. Flight from hell. No, seriously. We are flying from Boston, remember??

@ATXChristina never deleted it and I stand by it. Never been treated so badly somewhere

Who knows if Boston fans were taunting players’ children and throwing trash like Tiffany claims they were, but I’m sure Price’s girl received her fair share of heckling if the Sox fans found out who she was, especially with Price on the mound. Either way, it’s pretty neither side of that couple is a big fan of the not-so-friendly Fenway faithful.
