And if I was a Red Sox fan, you a so happy that they finally broke the curse (or whatever you thought was wrong) that nothing else matters. If they never won another game again, you wouldn't care because it's like you saw the impossible. That's the way I felt when the Rangers won the cup in 94. I never thought I would see that in my lifetime and because I did, as crazy as it sound I don't die as much every year when they get knocked out of the playoffs.

I felt like that for a while, but ahh, wouldnt have it been great to repeat? But they were outclassed by the White Sox in 05 and very much layed down for them. Then in 06 they were a diseaster. 07 was awesome although the anticlimatic WS romp against the Rockies left us wanting even more next season. Then comes the 08 series against the Rays where they came all the way back from 3-1 down to lose in the 7th game. That loss hurt more than the 03 loss to you guys and Aaron Boone. Imagine going for our 3rd WS title in 5 years? And being called a dynasty?

As far as the Yankees go, I hated them a lot more before we finally won the WS. Once we got the monkey off our backs, they were no longer as hated, at least by me. I still love the rivalry like no other, and cherish the games bewteen the 2 teams.

Ted Williams head may thaw out at the thought of a Red Sox fan actively rooting for that other team.

Heard some comedian talking about the Yankees on the radio.
"Rooting for the Yankees is like roting for the house in a Casino."
That about sums it up. I'll always be a Cub fan. I like to root for the drunken bum laying in the alley.
