"The Red Sox have won the World Series 5 times including the very fist which only a handful of teams have exceeded in number."

The point I commented on was "more recently", not about how many times.

"(who, ironically, have won a WS more recently than have the Red Sox)."

I put the little winking smiley face thingy in there because I was playing. But if you want to get technical, how many teams, besides the Yankees, have won the World Series since 1918?

Where is the "irony" in the Angels winning "more recently" when, off the top of my head, the Marlins, the Diamondbacks, the Braves, the Orioles, the Twins, the Blue Jays, the Royals, the Mets, the Dodgers (LA & Brooklyn), the Cardinals, the Pirates, the Phillies, the Tigers, the A's, the Reds, the Indians, heck even the Washington Senators have won a World Series "more recently" than the Red Sox.

Originally intended to be a facetious comment on my part, I apologize for my insensitivity to the feelings of you poor put-upon Red Sox fans. Sheesh, I want so badly to pull for the Red Sox, but ya'll make it so difficult to even care what happens.

But I will wish your team good luck.

I don't understand why the Red Sox fans whine about that stupid curse as naseum. They've been to the World Series before and have even won it. I'd love to see the Astros reach it for the first time and go on to win it.

Long live the 'Curse'. (-:

They beat the Yankees. That's aces in my book.

I am not a Red Sox fan. You were asking as you say facetiously who has had a longer World Series Title drought than the Red Sox and I pointed to the Chicago Cubs in my post. Beyond that I just mentioned in passing that the Red Sox had won 5 World Series from 1903 to 1918 which you seem to have for some strange humourous reason thought that that was the main thrust of my reply. The White Sox have also had a longer World Series Title drought than the Red Sox as well by one year to be exact but you did say with the name Sox so I didn't include them. Here is my smiley :)
