"I've had some calls, even to my house, from Red Sox Nation. I said to one of my good friends who is a season ticket holder, 'When you are down on the Red Sox and they are not having a good year, and your mad at the coach, the skipper of the team, do you start rooting for the Yankees? Of course not!' So I know as a Democrat there are a lot people dissapointed with the president or some of his policies. But you don't start rooting against our country. And I think this guy Chavez overstepped it when he called George Bush the devil on our soil in New York." - Councilor McDermott on the CBS4 News"I’m a Boston guy – born in 1967, the year the Sox won the Pennant," McDermott told WBZ Radio. "And it used to mean something different to me.
