Please do not even attempt to compare the Boston sports experience to the Cleveland sports experience. So in your 29 years you got what...3 Patriots, 2 Celtics, and one Red Sox title?? Yeah...I feel your pain...must be brutal.
Tough to disagree here, Cleveland and Buffalo come to mind on cities just getting the shank in terms of sports. The Bills losing 4 Super Bowls, the Sabres getting hosed in the Cup by Dallas...

Cleveland, the Indians sucked for so long, no one even went to the old stadium, were basically an ace away from a World Series title from 1995-2000, but management wouldn't go out and get one. The Browns left town, then reincarnated as the worst run professional sports team ever.
Tim Couch. Butch Davis. Art Modell. Then got buzzards luck and ran into the Spurs in the NBA Finals this year. Pretty shi*ty.

PS How nasty was the Indians lineup in say 1996/1997/1998?

Thome
Ramirez
Fryman
Justice
Lofton
Giles

All in their prime, too, more or less...
