Celeb trash talk tries to #DoDamage
Whether you’re warming up to #DoDamage or #LADetermined, celebrity fans of the Red Sox and the Los Angeles Dodgers have started talking smack in tweets and interviews ahead of tonight’s start of a wicked awesome World Series at Fenway Park:
Tom Brady, New England Patriots quarterback and five-time Super Bowl champion, on WEEI: “I was a Giants fan growing up and now I am a Red Sox fan. It couldn’t set up any better for the Red Sox to win the World Series . ... It’s going to be pretty sweet.”

Pedro Martinez, 2004 World Series champion Red Sox pitcher, three-time Cy Young Award winner, Hall of Famer: “The Dodg- ers got rid of me because I was too little and too fragile, and today my nickname is ‘el grande’ (the big one); because on the mound I felt I was the biggest one on the field.”
