They are so used to it, it's hard to break old habits. And they are good at losing too. One title in 86 years.....

Scoring 12 runs against any team is a feat.
Red Sox are only 2 games ahead of the Yanks even though the Yanks are having a bad season. That doesn't say much for the defending World Champs. Flash in the pan? Maybe another title in another 86 years.
Do all Red Sox fans have to sound like such sorelosers ALL the time?
Don't take my word for it. Take it from A-Rod who called his fellow teammates "lazy bums" the other night.
Yeah, such a feat that the lowly Devil Rays almost did it against the Yankees just tonight! And the Red Sox did it against the Yankees at least a couple of times this year alone. Including 20 runs in a game about a month ago.
Unbelievable......
They are so used to it, it's hard to break old habits. And they are good at losing too. One title in 86 years.....
Yes.
From Seinfield episode 135:
[Kramer's karate class. Kramer is beating his opponent, a little girl. Elaine walks in, surprised.]
ELAINE: Kramer!
KRAMER: Oh, hey.
ELAINE: What are you doing?
KRAMER: Oh, well, I-I-I'm dominating.
ELAINE: You never said you were fighting children.
KRAMER: Well, it's not the size of the opponent, Elaine, it's, uh, the ferocity.

Don't get your hopes up frogjerk, the Yankees next road trip will be another 2-10 disaster!
I hate you more than I hate anyone.
"Do all Red Sox fans have to sound like such sorelosers ALL the time?"
We suffered through 86 years of disappointment and you're whining about a few months of smugness??
Cut us some slack! Our bullpen is going to make sure that it doesn't happen again this year.
Oh yeah... Yankees Suck! (that feel great)
SWEET!
To paraphrase Bill Murray, I hate the Yankees more than Communism.
Update:
Yanqui lose 3 out of 4 at home to the Devil Rays despite an obscene $180 Million payroll advantage.... Big Stein must be getting angry!!!
Maybe it's time to bring in some head shrinks?????
Update: A-Rod hits 2 run homer off of aging Curt Shilling as a reliever? Ouch!
lol....Don't worry, ElTianti. Your Red Sox will find out soon enough.
As for the Yanks. .....how does FIRST place sound? Not too good? Better get used to it. From last to first in a month and change.
Look again...
Who's your daddy...AGAIN?? HEH!!
LOL, good things come to those that wait.
Nice touch.
