A distraught 10-year-old Red Sox fan should not be told that people are starving in Third World countries (dismissive). Or that it matters only that Red Sox players tried their very best (condescending). Or that the Red Sox are bound to win the World Series someday (possibly untrue).

Instead, he should be told "Get used to it".

>:D

My daughter's first heartbreak was when Wells went to Toronto for Clemens.

I took her to see Clemens first couple of starts at the Stadium, told her stories of watching him pitch in hs and college in Texas.

She got over it.

Though I am worried her favorite ballplayers are fat, crazy guys.

ROTFLMAO. I made my husband read your post. We were screaming.
