If i'm wrong about my sneaking suspicion that they'll somehow pull a trigger to get Hanley back and they end up even cheaping out on Oswalt, my first hotstove @ home in 30+ yrs will leave my stockings less than sanguine.

You mean suck at life AND sports?? Doesn't seem all that difficult.

I'd love to see the rationale behind a team losing the superbowl being classified as sucking

But you were good with the rationale that Boston and their fans "win championship after championship after championship, all the time"

No. Where did I say that?But you were good with the rationale that Boston and their fans "win championship after championship after championship, all the time"

Just thought it a bit odd that EY's comment was the one that needed to be called out for hyperbole.

The Patriots have now cast their lot with the Rams and the Colts as teams that did not win the championship. At least a 2-14 season netted those teams higher draft picks, the Patriots only claim is another * as a Super Bowl loser. Ask the Bills fans, tehy'll tell you that isn't a bad spot to be in once you accept your fate.

Which is worse - the defending cup champions being 1 game away from elimination or the Red Sox blowing a 9 run lead to the Yanks the day after they stunk up the joint after the 100 year anniversery of Fenway?
Tim Thomas wasn't so incredibly awesome on that GWG goal today

This thread is about Boston's awesomeness. Stay on track.

I grew up at Fenway - my mother would put me on the Green Line to the park starting when i was ten with 80 cents - .15 each way for the el, .50 for a bleacher seat - i would watch practice & then come out and hand out bags for a retired train porter who had a peanut cart ("Peeeenuts a daaaahm - three fo quawtah") in exchange for two bags for myself and then watch day games all summer with like 1400 others.I am happy for the defining embarassment of the last two days. Here's why:I moved back to Boston last fall after 35 yrs away. Could not believe it but, as an antennae-only consumer of TV, i dont get to see any more Sox games here than i did in Albuquerque (Games of the Week). Unconscionable. Laughed all thru today's unprecendented collapse - they can go straight to hell, for all i care.

I'll never forget - mid 70s or so when I was a kid - the peanut vendor with the broken English outside of Fenway. Definitely not a native Bostonian. He never broke cadence for three hours.I grew up at Fenway - my mother would put me on the Green Line to the park starting when i was ten with 80 cents - .15 each way for the el, .50 for a bleacher seat - i would watch practice & then come out and hand out bags for a retired train porter who had a peanut cart ("Peeeenuts a daaaahm - three fo quawtah") in exchange for two bags for myself and then watch day games all summer with like 1400 others.

Is Adebesi ok?
Is he thinking to himself 'I singlehandedly brought back the Boston curse with this gloat thread?'
Are Bill Buckner, Wade Boggs and Adebisi currently in the throes of a nationwide Mano Y Mano Y Mano, Worlds Most Dangerous Game Manhunt?
Stay tuned for these and more stories from Sucktown USA!

Has any town ever held the college and pro hockey titles at the same time? I can't think of one.

Admittedly not as exciting as beating up on the Lightning en route to a Stanley Cup.

Game 162 happened.Admittedly not as exciting as beating up on the Lightning en route to a Stanley Cup.
Gonna be hard to top that embarrassment. Even though the Sox are trying hard this weekend.
I think Adebisi said he isn't a Red Sox fan.

A-Rud is correct. I grew up a BoSox fan, but lost interest almost altogether following the 2004 season. I am a little embarrassed to admit that, but not really. Seeing your team pull through after lifetimes of failure is awesome. 
Seeing your team outspend everyone is not. 
But in the end, "game 162 happened," but hey, so did 2004 and 2007. Mark them down as just two more drops in the Boston Championship Ocean.

You do get tired staying up late for some of these games, but the excitement of seeing your team win never gets old.

Its tough telling your wife, I need to go out again tonight to watch the championship game, its a once in a lifetime opportunity, when it just keeps happening.

Kind of takes some of the starch out the Boston super fan shtick, no?
I thought so.

Isn't touting a college hockey championship the same as getting geeked up over a Boston team winning the Beanpot?
beanpot is a tourney for bragging rights in Boston.not sure how that's at all similar to winning an NCAA Division 1 Championship against the best teams in the country.

I know, right? You totally expect boston to win everything now. Im as surprised as you, frankly, but hey, good for those other cities.
I just figured when fans were this awesome, they couldn't lose.I guess DC fans have been working out.I know, right? You totally expect boston to win everything now. Im as surprised as you, frankly, but hey, good for those other cities.
