Nice way to cap off a good weekend. Sox are back to .500 at 20-20 and on their way up. Feels like the season started tonight.

After looking in the Red Sux thread I was just gonna say I was starting to sympathize with you, and then this thread pops up.You just can't help yourselves.![]()
http://i52.tinypic.com/30velav.gifAfter striking out and grounding out twice against Sabathia, once into an inning-ending double play, Gonzalez said to teammates and manager Terry Francona prior to their fourth encounter in the seventh inning that he was going to utilize a swing modeled after Ichiro Suzuki, whose iconic form sees him thrust his hips ahead of the rest of his body and almost sweep out of the box as he swings.To make that kind of mid-game adjustment, and a bold one at that, and then crush a Sabathia fastball into the seats in right-center field, speaks to how incredible Gonzalez is at the plate.
I actually know this is untrue. I think the "we" you are referring to you is what everyone else thinks is the worst group of fans in North American sports. The "we" you think "we" means, actually applies to all the good Boston fans who also think you/they are embarrassing. HTH.After looking in the Red Sux thread I was just gonna say I was starting to sympathize with you, and then this thread pops up.You just can't help yourselves.![]()

I think Boston fans here would be happy to know that my new boss is a huge Red Sux fan. Poetic justice? oolKraft and Ken?I actually know this is untrue.

My boss is too, and he's not even from there, which makes him even more unbearable. Typical Sox fan too, knows next to nothing about the sport.I think Boston fans here would be happy to know that my new boss is a huge Red Sux fan.

Well that worked pretty quickly. They're sensitive, too.'Matthias said:You people really need to work on your jabs.Red Sox fans are among, if not the, most knowledgable fans about the game of any baseball fans. If you want to rip on the M####### stereotype or say they have an old park or that they can't pronounce "Lowrie" correctly or even that they get kinda drunk and obnoxious at games, then fine. But don't say their fans don't know the game. It just makes you look stupid.My boss is too, and he's not even from there, which makes him even more unbearable.

For exhibit A replace ##### with the proper spelling of doosh and you're on your way!**No the proper spelling of doosh is not: Red Sux fan
Not based on my experience.'Matthias said:Red Sox fans are among, if not the, most knowledgable fans about the game of any baseball fans.
I didn't think you'd actually DO this, but since you took the time to post, I'll take a minute to pick it apart. So a 2007 post from a dead blog written by a guy who can't spell faux, a yankees fan's fickr pic bragging about throwing ice on an opposing team's fan, a dead facebook group, and an urban dictionary link that, not ironically, has similar posts when you enter the names of several other MLB Franchises.... yet not a single actual ranking of "worst fans"? Got it.For exhibit A replace ##### with the proper spelling of doosh and you're on your way!*
I won't argue you here unless you're going to suggest the Cardinals fans are in the lead hereNot based on my experience.'Matthias said:Red Sox fans are among, if not the, most knowledgable fans about the game of any baseball fans.

The "selling loyalty" post is pretty comical though.
Go to the FFA's worst fan base thread and you'll find a ton of linked polls and writeups on "most hated fanbases" and you'll find the Sox aren't even the top MLB group let alone "worst group of fans in north american sports".
I'll drop it at this though. If you'd like to continue with that perception (and I know you will) that's fine. Certainly have every right to believe whatever you'd like.![]()
I'm not suggesting any fans are in the lead. I'm saying it's ridiculous for Sox fans to point out their fan base as being superior. I'd guess that almost all fan bases are the same, in terms of the makeup of their fans when it comes to knowledge of the game.I went to a Sox game about 5 years ago. My ticket had a picture of a former Sox player, someone from the 60's I think. NO ONE around me knew who it was. I must have asked 15 people.I won't argue you here unless you're going to suggest the Cardinals fans are in the lead hereNot based on my experience.'Matthias said:Red Sox fans are among, if not the, most knowledgable fans about the game of any baseball fans.![]()

TO be fair, I am not sure that is the best way to determine knowledge as a fan.The way I would do it is this... A knowledgeable (average) fan should be able to name the majority of both the starting lineup and rotation, understand where the team is in the standings, and be able to hold a conversation on strategy for the remainder of the season. If the average fan can do this, I would suggest that fan-base is above-average for knowledge.I'm not suggesting any fans are in the lead.
