Thurm,
I am VERY sympathetic to Sox fans. I don't go in for the fan bashing at all. I lived near Fenway for a while, met a couple Sox players too. I feel their pain. I just have been a Yankee fan my whole life and love the rivalry of the teams.
Still, I don't go in for the fan bashing:) But I enjoy listening to Yankee fans and Sox fans go at it. lol.
