Just a friendly reminder, those of you headed to Fenway Park, Tampa Bay's Luke Scott thinks you're trash.

Scott also thinks that Fenway Park is a dump.

"As a baseball player, going there to work, it's a dump," he said on Thursday "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."

Scott is not in the lineup today because of a hamstring strain but could return in a day or two.
