And so with the World Series about to begin, we say our final goodbyes to Red Sox Nation, and I can think of no clearer metaphor for their season than this. A Red Sox fan giddily announces that she's going to run onto the field at Fenway, but she only makes it halfway down the steps before taking a header. But the hilarity doesn't end there. Video following the jump.
As you can see, she didn't even make it over the wall, as she is nabbed rather effortlessly by security. Then, for some reason, she raises her arms in triumph as if she's Drew Barrymore in Fever Pitch. No, you were more like Drew Carey, my dear.

Bayern Munich interim coach Hansi Flick expects Jerome Boateng to remain at the club despite strong links with Arsenal.
Boateng, 31, has been at the club since joining from Manchester City in 2011 and was first-choice at the back for the first few years.
But fitness problems began to have an impact in 2015-16 and he is yet to play more than 20 Bundesliga matches in a single season since.
This term Boateng has featured in nine of a possible 17 league matches and, with Bayern looking more towards young players in most areas of the team and Arsenal in need of defensive reinforcements, the experienced centre-back has been linked with a departure.
Flick has doubts about him leaving, however.

With the mood in their camp at a real high and coming past Bayer Leverkusen thanks to a 2-1 win in a one-off quarter-final last time out, the former Chelsea boss finds his side in the midst of a five-match winning run across all competitions and with a growing reputation for their displays in the…

Desperate to claim a Premier League boost on Thursday night, Manchester United will travel to Molineux when they meet Wolves.
Wolves
Starting with the hosts, while Wolves might have opened up the 2023/24 campaign tipped as a potential relegation contender, Gary O’Neil’s side have continued on a remarkable domestic flurry this season. Extending on their FA Cup adventure last weekend following a fiery 2-0 victory away at bitter local rivals West Brom, the former Bournemouth boss should find the mood in his camp at a red-hot high. Signing off 2023 with a statement on home soil as they secured a 3-0 romp against Everton, Wolves have lost just one of their previous 10 appearances across all competitions. Skyrocketing their way up the Pr…
Former England international Jack Rodwell has joined A-League side Western Sydney Wanderers for the 2021-22 season.
The 30-year-old ex-Everton and Manchester City midfielder had been without a club since being released by Sheffield United in June.
Rodwell, who only made two appearances in his 18 months with the Blades, spent a fortnight training with Wanderers and on Thursday signed a one-season deal.
This move is really exciting for me, I ve been looking at the opportunity to play in Australia for a couple of months and with my wife being from Western Sydney, the Wanderers was the perfect destination, said Rodwell.
Australia is like a second home to me, it s my favourite country on Earth, it s where my wife and her family are from; we love the pla…
Manchester United are extremely reluctant to consider their immediate future without Paul Pogba. Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer recently tried to play the speculations around the midfielder down by saying that Pogba would be a part of that future, but according to , the 20-time English champions will be forced to enter negotiations about a potential sale.
The Spanish outlet claim that the 2018 World Cup winner has already made his mind up and wants to leave Old Trafford for Real Madrid this summer. He has apparently already instructed his agent Mino Raiola to find a way for the move to happen and wants to be a Real player by July 1st. Pogba did recently say that playing for Real Madrid would be a dream for any player.
United, on the other hand, will have learned a lesson…
Arne Slot hit back at critics following his first defeat as Liverpool head coach but is relishing his first Champions League game in charge of the Reds against Milan.
After starting his Liverpool tenure with three wins from three, Slot s side were beaten 1-0 by Nottingham Forest last weekend upon their return from the international break.
It marked the Dutchman s first loss since replacing Jurgen Klopp, with Forest securing their first triumph at Anfield since 1969.
Slot named an unchanged team for the fourth consecutive game since taking over at Liverpool against Forest, with many questioning his decision to do so.
But speaking ahead of their encounter at the San Siro on Tuesday, Slot doubled down on his selection policy during his early tenure…
Nottingham Forest will leave 97 seats empty when they face Liverpool in the FA Cup on Sunday in tribute to the fans who died as a result of the Hillsborough disaster.
It was Forest who were Liverpool s opponents in the FA Cup semi-final at the home of Sheffield Wednesday in April 1989.
Those who lost their lives after a crush on the over-crowded Leppings Lane terrace were supporting Liverpool that day.
It remains a tragedy that touches both clubs, and the victims will be remembered when the sides meet for the first time in 23 years.
Two-time European Cup winners Forest have been outside the top flight of English football since 1999, meaning the once great rivalry that existed between them and Liverpool has gone cold, but the chance to reach a cup semi-…
Ronald Koeman has once again criticised the scheduling of Barcelona s LaLiga fixtures after losing Ousmane Dembele to injury.
Dembele suffered an elongation in the hamstring of his right leg in Saturday s 2-1 loss to Cadiz and is facing another spell on the sidelines.
The France international joins a growing list of injured players at Barca, with Gerard Pique, Ansu Fati, Sergi Roberto and Samuel Umtiti also ruled out.
Koeman is unsure how long the injury-plagued Dembele will be out but suggested this latest setback would have been avoided if his side were given a different kick-off slot.
It s a shame to lose another player to injury, he said at a news conference ahead of Tuesday s Champions League clash with Juventus.
He noticed something in the…
Sadio Mane continued his electrifying Liverpool form by scoring twice as the Reds came from behind to beat Newcastle United 3-1 and maintain their 100 per cent start to the season.
The Senegalese was seen venting his frustration at Mohamed Salah – who got the Reds third – despite scoring against Burnley before the international break, though he seemed rather more relaxed as he took his domestic tally to four for the season.
Jetro Willems opened the scoring early on with a stunning first Premier League goal, but Mane levelled 21 minutes later with a similarly impressive finish and then punished a Martin Dubravka howler to ensure Liverpool led at half-time.
Salah eventually finished Newcastle off 18 minutes from time, justifiably going it alone after critici…
Paris Saint-Germain are interested in signing Bernardo Silva from Manchester City in the summer transfer window, according to . The report has claimed that Ligue 1 champions PSG have offered Brazil international forward Neymar to sweeten the deal, but Premier League champions City have turned it down.
