Ah, Boston

Carmen Carbone, 40, a copy machine technician, slumped in his seat and shook his head at the display. He said it exposed the team to unnecessary controversy -- and teasing. Last week, he said, Yankees fans razzed Red Sox fans relentlessly about the makeovers during a series in Yankee Stadium.

''To me it doesn't matter, but keep it to yourselves," Carbone, of Melrose, said after three ''Queer Eye" members lobbed the pitches to start the game. ''If I owned the Red Sox, I wouldn't have done it."

His girlfriend, Karen Garofalo, nodded. ''I think all the other teams are laughing in our faces," said Garofalo, 41, a secretary from Revere.
