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?
i hate that. i thought he did too.
don't be like that, mama!!
I agree totally. I miss the banter we had with our once-upon-a-time-red-sox-fan. Honestly, not only do I miss the bullshit ragging we did with him, but I'm completely surprised that he just laid down and quit. So, your team has hit a rough patch. So what? I've been teasing Southie about it and I get a resounding "Fuck off!" and a horrid reminder that the Yanks dropped their pants and bent over in 2004. Lord knows, I cringe every time I'm reminded of Game 7, but I still cheered for my Bronx boys - then and now. No matter what, no one can tell me they are not the best gobdamned team in the world. And Southie still loves her team despite what's happened. Isn't what what real fans do?
Joe, come back to us. Love your crap Red Sox like a fan should. Bitch about the Sox, but still love 'em. Don't wait for spring to suddenly be a "real" fan again.
Dear, sweet Harley Kwink...I'm madly in love with you. Marry me! We can go to Canadia. Or Boston or something. It'll be grand...You know the cookies are a given. They are ALWAYS a given. You could dump me tomorrow and you'd still get the cookies. Boston..shit, wherever dyke weddings were legalized. And where better to rub their little piggie noses in how bad they suck than right on their doorstep? What are they gonna do? Be jealous of you? Stare furiously at your tah-tahs? Not willingly give you cookies, but instead begrudgingly give you their cookies? Woman, time to wake up to the powers you wield - Uschi
