Wait? What are you saying about my sports teams? And how is that an indication of how we're always wrong? The Red Sox have won the World Series twice in 4 years. The Patriots won three in a row, and are on their way to a completely perfect season. The Celtics, yes have been crap, but they're actually pretty good at the moment. How does that mean we're always wrong? Your argument makes no sense.

Don't you live in or around Orlando? Other than the questionable Magic, do you guys even have any teams? Disney characters don't count. Posts: 21898 | Registered: Nov 2004

Evil teams? How are my teams evil? My teams kick butt! I dare you to find a bigger fan than Red Sox fans. They don't exist. The movie Fever Pitch was made about them for a reason.
And why such a hatred for my teams? I don't understand. We have no qualms with Orlando. Orlando's cool. Mickey lives there.

Yeah yeah yeah, I know. But, of all the American baseball teams they could have used, they used mine. That's because our fans are awesome. And somewhat crazy. But that's another story. But you still haven't answered my question. Why do you hate Boston teams so much?

Well to be fair, the Red Sox bought their World Series titles. Or at least I think you can make that argument. You might not have a half billion dollar salaray like the Yankees do, but you aren't far behind.

Oh, let's not even get into this. Our fans are not obnoxious. We're passionate. And we did NOT buy our title. The Dice-K deal was a great marketing scheme and paid for itself a hundred times over with marketing from Japan. And we have such a better farm system than anything the Yankees have. The Yankees are evil, if anything. They buy their talent. Some of our best guys on the team were rookies that we brought up from our farm system and trained and took the time to use properly. Clay Buchholz pitched a no-hitter, and no one had ever HEARD of him until this year. Jacoby Ellsbury? Amazing, and a rookie and he came up from our farm system. The Yankees do nothing like that. They try to buy the big names and then whinge when they get injured.
PS. Don't get me started on this subject. I could be up all night talking about this, and I have class in 8 hours. If you want to talk to me about Boston teams, let me know, and we'll have a chat online. I'm totally ready for a debate.

Right. I suppose you've never heard of Joba Chamberlain, Phil Hughes, and Ian Kennedy.

Okay, so they do have some guys who came up from the farm system, but I honestly think that they don't use their farm system as much as they could. Plus, I hate the Yankees with a fiery passion of a thousand suns.
