I hate Red Sox fans!
I know this will irk at least one reader of this little diatribe (I love you Becky!). The reason I hate most (certainly not all) fans of the Boston Red Sox is their preoccupation with a certain storied franchise whose home happens to be in New York. Before I go further, let me give an example of this obsession. I had the great privilege of going to a game at Fenway Park last year. Its a great place to watch baseball, even though it's a little cramped. My seats were right by Pesky's Pole, so I wasn't close to the action but did have a good vantage point. The Sawx happened to be playing the Indians that day and it was a very good game. Boston had come from behind to take the lead and were piling it on when, for no real reason, fans started chanting "Yankees suck!"
Whaaaaah?!?!?!? The Yankees aren't here. They can't hear you and frankly, if they did, they wouldn't care. Why are you so preoccupied with this team? Here we are ... watching a great game ... watching YOUR team play a fantastic game ... and you're chanting about the Yankees?!?!?!?!
Well, October is here and the Sawx are pitted against their nemesis for the AL crown. And this series ain't even close. The Yanks are up 3 games to none and the last game was an exhibition of hitting by the Yanks who won 19-8. NINETEEN to EIGHT!!!! That sounds like the score of the Patriots' game. It was during game 3 that Fox interviewed Stephen King, who is a die-hard Red Sox fan. Mr. King, during the interview, claimed that the Red Sox were "America's Team". What? Did I miss something here? When did that happen. There are exactly 2 MLB franchises that can claim to be "America's Team". First is the Cubs. Go to any stadium whent he Cubs are playing and count the number of Cubs fans. If the home team is really bad, it may be easier to count that team's fans. Because, they're outnumbered by the Cubs fans. The other team is the said storied franchise from New York. The reason ... they're winners. Not only do they win, but they win with class. I happen to think Derek Jeter is the best postseason player in all of baseball right now. He may not have gawdy stats, but this guy knows what to do to win. I have found myself rooting for the Yankees this year, mainly because my beloved Orioles are no where to be seen this October.
Wow .. this post has no rhyme or reason does it? Well ... it's my blog and that's my choice, I guess. I'm hoping for a St Louis - Yankees World Series. Let's see how this shakes out.

Well I guess it didn't shake out to well for you because the yankees really do SUCK ! You guys need to increase your payroll. Better luck next season. Who's your daddy? Davis Ortiz is.
i completely agree. the red sox have no team to blame for their losing except themselves. all this "curse" bullcrap is just an excuse. its easier to say we lost becuase we're cursed than to say we lost because we suck. and i PRAY the red sox lose this world series because then they might realize its not the yankees' fault they lost, its their own
well bottom line...the YANKEES SUCK BALLS! and they lost to the red sox and the red sox are going to win the WORLD SERIES! so put that in ur fuckin pipe and smoke it
Nice to see you too ... whoever you are.
Up 3 games to none, eh? Who had the BIGGEST CHOKE in the history of baseball? The BIGGEST COLLAPSE in the history of baseball? Go ahead - answer!
The RED SOX ARE WORLD CHAMPIONS!!
Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
I agree with you completely, I work at a bar in Montreal,Canada, and we get a lot of americans, because of the cheap dollar. Usually, I find the tourists are great, but at our New Years Party, which is entirely American, around Midnight, the bar burst into the Yankees Suck Chant. Could not believe it. Not even a sporting event, and they chant. Get a grip.
Hey Red Sox, Congrats on the Championship.
Now all you have to do is win 20 more and you will be in the same class as the Yankees!
Oh yeah you like to space them out a little, like 9 decades…
Here is the truth, plain and simple. There was no curse, there is no rivalry; The Yankees will always be better.
Put THAT in your pipe and smoke it!!!

Thanks to the asshole who wanted to prove that copy and paste works, I have ceased allowing comments on this post. The Red Sox won. Stop being a prick about it.
