For the Boston Red Sox, victory may be sweet, but revenge tastes awfully good too.
How else to explain what the Red Sox social media department started tweeting following the team’s 5-1 victory on Sunday, which clinched its fourth World Series championship since 2004.
Within hours of that win, the team started responding to negative tweets that fans had sent back on March 29 after the Red Sox lost their opening day game 4-6 to the Tampa Bay Rays.
We’re using this time to now respond to all the @ mentions from Opening Day. https://t.co/v3tBSUJQiL

What a difference seven months makes.
All those early tweets didn’t age well huh? Do we have a choke GIF yet? Should probably work on that before an inside the park one.

How does it feel to be the least liked team in Boston by a LOT?

It feels good to be World Series Champs!
