Tampa's Luke Scott Calls Fenway 'A Dump'
BOSTON (CBS) - Tampa Bay Rays designated hitter Luke Scott really dislikes everything about the Boston Red Sox.
As a member of the Orioles last season, Scott called Sox fans "vulgar" and called out their arrogance. Now a member of Rays, he is taking swipes at their beloved ballpark.

"As a baseball player, going there to work, it's a dump," Scott told MLB.com, as his Rays open a four-game series with the Red Sox at Fenway on Friday. "I mean, it's old. It does have a great feel and nostalgia, but at the end of the day, I'd rather be at a good facility where I can get my work in. A place where I can go hit in the cage. Where I have space and it's a little more comfortable to come to work."

"You're packed in like sardines there. It's hard to get your work in. ... You have to go to their weight room if you want to lift. From a fan's perspective, it's probably pretty cool to go see a game at a historic park. But from a player's point of view, it's not a place where you want to go to work."
