being totally honest... it actually really annoys me that joe'd just give up on the team this year.
i've been fans of shitty teams forever (minus these golden yankee years) and have no problem continuing to flaunt my pitiful obsession. jets? pirates? whatever, i'm there. hell, even when these current yankees bomb in unthinkable series situations, i wade through it.
yer sposda!
if there's one thing in sports that i absolutely can't stand, its fair weather fans. i hate the fans that buy a yankee hat when the yanks are 3 games up, and then a sox fan when they win 4 straight.
joe knows about this, both from when i've ranted about it and from personal experience -- he's a friggin redsox fan. thats a long stretch of tough losses he's suffered through. often, here!
whats worse ... he and i just talked about the very topic like 10 pages back in this thread.
now, his team goes on a losing stretch, notably marked by a 5 game loss to the yanks at home, and he's done. in fucking august. with 50+ games of baseball left. fuck, even now, the sox are "only" 8-9 games out of first, and 6 games out of the wildcard. with still 25+ to go.
so, what, in the not-too-unlikely instance that the red sox get hot again, and surpass the twins for first in the wildcard, joe comes back? gives it another try?
