Memo: When Luke Scott comes to Boston on April 13 with the Tampa Bay Rays, please don’t swear at the fella, OK?

Scott, a whiny, bit part .220-hitting member of the Orioles team that helped knock the Red Sox out of the playoffs (remember that?) last season, opened up to MLB.com recently about his love for Red Sox fans. As in, he has none.

“Just their arrogance,” Scott said. “The fans come in and they take over the city. They’re ruthless. They’re vulgar. They cause trouble. They talk about your family. Swear at you. Who likes that? When people do that, it just gives you more incentive to beat them. Then when things like [the last game of last season] happen, you celebrate even more. You go to St. Louis — classiest fans in the game. You do well, there’s no vulgarity. You know what? You don’t wish them bad.”

Scott dodged the ensuing Orioles dog pile on the field at the end of the winning rally — surgically repaired shoulders don’t fare well in said situations. Nevertheless, Scott enjoyed the electric atmosphere.

“The clubhouse afterward was like we’d just won the World Series — a lot of celebrating, a lot of high emotions,” Scott said.

Those emotions escalated a notch moments later when Longoria made the Rays winners with a homer. “Everybody’s giving high-fives, then all of a sudden [Longoria] homers,” Scott said. “Everybody’s in the clubhouse and it’s like, Bam! And we’re like, ‘Go home Boston! Pack your bags. See you next year.'” Once he’d showered and packed his things for the offseason, Scott headed for his car and started home. “I got to see a priceless thing driving back to my apartment,” Scott said. “I see all the Boston fans walking around, and I mean they were crying crocodile tears. People were like this, walking side by side.” Scott wrapped his arm around a reporter’s waist and began to wail to demonstrate. “It was like someone shot their dog. I rolled down the window and I’m like, ‘Ah, hah, sucks doesn’t it, when someone laughs or makes fun of you when things aren’t going your way.'”

Again, April 13. Please be respectful.
