Red Sox World Champions Bump!

I'm willing to bet you're a big Patriots fan

You'd lose that bet. Cowboys fan since 1970.

You probably worshipped the Celtics and Larry Bird in the 80s. Or Magic and the Lakers. But one thing remained constant. Your team always had to be the one on top

Thanks for confirming what all sports fans already know.....that Boston fans of ANY sport, are the most condescending, arrogant, and classless in the world.

Enjoy your ONE championship in 86 years. You've earned it.You'll be hibernating again in no time.

It is one thing being obnoxious and insufferable when you win - but please give it a rest when your team does the biggest choke in sports history

See? That's your problem....I saw that series as the GREATEST, SINGLE COMEBACK WIN OF ALL TIME IN ANY SPORT!

By your thinking, the sux didn't win it, the Ynaks lost it.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Game 4 ... 9th Inning ... Dave "Thank You Dave" Roberts ... enough said.

Mariano Rivera CHEERED! He loves it too! ha ha

Well, there were smaller banners under it, for the wins in 03, 12, 15, 16, and 18.

Very good point.

Great Chokes of 2004.

"By your thinking, the sux didn't win it, the Ynaks lost it."

By my thinking: (A) Red Sox won it; (B) "Ynaks" lost it; and (C) (B) makes (A) even sweeter. By contrast, I took no pleasure in the Cardinals losing. They seemed like courteous fans and hosts. As you may have noted, no Cardinals fans have tried to rain on the Red Sox parade on this thread.

Gee, I wasn't aware there was a Red Sux-Cardinal rivalry that goes back for 100 years.

But why let facts get in your way. Anything else you can note for us?

Not really. It only proves my point. To be a Yankee fan, Habs fan, and Cowboy fan screams out, "I'm a bandwagon rider!" So, are you a Celts or Lakers fan? We need to round off the foursome.

BTW: I've never even been to Boston. I just like the Red Sox because they're not full of themselves like Steinbrenner's mercenaries are.

[raccoonradio]

Make that TWO curses down.

So, are you a Celts or Lakers fan?

I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than watch basketball.

To be a Yankee fan, Habs fan, and Cowboy fan screams out, "I'm a bandwagon rider!"

No kidding? And, how many WS did the Yanks win in the 70's? How many SB did the Cowboys win in the 80's?

So, if a team I follow wins the big game, ANYTIME in it's history, I am a bandwagon rider?

I guess you're looking at the newest Cubs & Maple Leafs fan.

Thanks, Capt Obvious

"Gee, I wasn't aware there was a Red Sux-Cardinal rivalry that goes back for 100 years."

The Red Sox played (and .. um ... lost) to the Cardinals in the 1946 and 1967 World Series. So there was a history there and the Cardinal fans still did not act like obnoxious, sore loser New York Yankee fans.

"Anything else you can note for us?"

(1) See above;
(2) "Ynaks" = Yanks
