I mean, you'll also never go wrong with "you f***ing idiot."
Someone please let the Red Sox know we can train their players on appropriate Massachusetts trash talk.
You f***ing clown! or You're a f***ing clown! works in every situation.
Highly recommend.
Someone tell Jarren, we got him!

He definitely went nuclear when it wasn’t necessary, he had so many options

So is Bum.
Its very versatile especially when you add "bunch of" in front of it. My father liked to use it to describe New England sports teams in the 1990s.
Also a great way to describe the transients on Huntington Ave. in the mid 2000s, especially the one handed pushup bum.

Fred Toucher reading the Globe article comments and calling out the narcissistic compassion of the commenters was hilarious.
I don't think Duran is some kind of raging hate monster, but anyone who was in public school prior to about 2010 is going to have been exposed to that word as a generalized insult and when provoked it can come out as an involuntary response. You really have to work at removing it from your vocab and training yourself to respond in other ways, because some words are buried deep in the neural network. MLB has financial interest in the gay community (they want that 'dual-income no kids' money), so I'm sure they'll make an example of him. But I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt and assuming he's not a bad guy but something bad slipped out under pressure. Whatever punishment he gets will help reinforce him to take an extra second before shouting back at a heckler the next time.

He was Grady Little's third base coach here in 2003 IIRC. I remember them always bringing up that he had type 1 diabetes and had some kind of incident on the field while coaching.

Fred Toucher is a freakin loser. Talk about someone will mental health problems,
As for Duran, you can’t go there. I just hope he only apologizes for the comment but not to the heckler. I’d retire before I apologize to human trash.
2 game suspension for Duran
Learn from the mistake. Grow. Move onwards and upwards.

No argument there. Guy is a waste of space.
Calling the heckler human trash is a bit harsh. Yelling at a player to use a tennis racket, is pretty mild stuff. I've heard a heck of a lot worse, when it comes to heckling. That's why Duran's over the top response was so shocking......
Onward.
2 games. We move. We learn. We grow. It's all gonna be okay folks

Anyone remember that dipshit who heckled at Devil Rays games at the Trop back when they still sucked? That guy was obnoxious, but the only player he ever got to break was Bret Boone.
1 or 2 games seemed about right to me.
What's more important, at least from what I heard on 98.5 is that the Sox and Durran said his salary from these suspended games is going to charity. That's a good thing to come from this
