exactly, but it is funny how it was never like that in the 90's. When Mo Vaughn and Jose Cansaco played the Red Sox were just another team. Fox and ESPN overhyped that rivalry in 2003 and 2004 and basically made two types of people, a Yankees fan or a Red Sox fan. Now all of these people that hated the Yankees became Red Sox fans. These people don't give a shit about baseball, they just needed some sort of meaning in their lives and since they didn't want to cheer for the Yankees, they could cheer for the anti-Yankees by rooting for the Red Sox. The problem is that most of these people just abandoned their own hometown team while doing this because it's easier to cheer for a team that wins than one that doesn't. It's the same reason there are so many Yankee fans, but that bandwagon started far back in the 60s and has now seen 2nd and 3rd generations. This new Red Sox bandwagon (or Red Sox Nation) is in it's infancy. If I'm a Red Sox fan from the beginning I hate these people. You should stick with your team no matter what.
However, said this, the only thing that will kill this Red Sox bandwagon would be a Yankees/Cubs or Red Sox/Cubs World Series. If this should happen, those ship jumpers from 2003/2004 will now jump ship again to the Cubs.
(note: I'm writing this from a Cleveland fan's point of view. Our teams have all basically sucked at some point over the last 2 decades. We haven't won shit since the early 60s. We hear people crying for the Cubs to end the drought, for the Red Sox to break the curse....and for some reason everyone cheers for them to do that. Fuck that. I'm all for curses. Our city's sports teams have been cursed for over 40 years and although I recognize that it's not 100 like the Cubs, it's still much harder to get ALL of your sports teams to be cursed. Chicago had the Bears,Bulls, and White Sox. Boston had the Pats and Celtics of the 70s... We have the fucking Cleveland Crunch-what the fuck is that? Nobody will root for US to break the curse..they would much rather root for someone else to do it)

ha it's nothing against the Red Sox. I just don't like people that have no allegiance to anything and jump ship whenever they want
aaaand it's only three games into the season :rolleyes:
I wasn't aware they awarded the championship this early
