Wolfman, I\'ll agree that AROD is a class A choke artist and that his impressive season numbers came at meaningless times, but the rest of your argument is laughable.
How can you translate one of the most decorated teams in baseball history into your claims of underachievement? Especially coming from a fan of one of the longest standing jokes in MLB history?
Yankee fans come back every year knowing they will make a serious run @ a championship. Red Sox fans while impressive in their loyalty are the lovable losers of professional sports. Every spring they puff their chests in undying loyalty to a team that has burned them SO MANY TIMES. I love watching the downward spiral every year. It begins somewhere around August and always (except once in almost 90 years) ends in a picture perfect sweep, or maybe a ball trickling through someones feet, and deflating those chests and any dreams of a winter in which you can hold your chin up and be proud.
So you hold onto that 2004 Red Sox DVD, I only hope that the technology required to play that disk will not have gone the way of Betamax the next time your Sox win a championship.
