The thing about the Red Sox

[jhetley]

The problem is, the Red Sox aren't total losers. They win enough games to raise their fans' hopes, but never enough to satisfy. If they lost all the time, like the Cubs used to, or the Braves when I lived in Atlanta, the fans wouldn't suffer this roller-coaster ride. Used to go to Braves games and never care if they lost, just watched the game and enjoyed the good players on both sides. I had just as much fun watching the Atlanta Crackers in the old Ponce de Leon ballpark with the trains running across the right field fence.
