1) There are Rays fans here?

2)Did you post this in June and it just now showed up?

I don't think I've seen a single Rays fan here.

Kyle Weiland is pretty shitty, btw.

I bet if Carl Crawford played the Sox would have scored like 5 runs.

wow, gonna be able to post in this thread for awhile

Says "reply here when your team has a better record than the Red Sox". I reply. Go Yanks!

Fixed.

I wonder when, exactly, the Red Sox went from the 'lovable loser' never-can-get-there jokes, to the type of perrenial contender that inspires dislike from fans of completely unrelated teams. When I grew up, being a Red Sox fan meant embracing failure. It meant Buckner and Dent and injuries to Nomar and watching Frank Castillo pitch. It meant that even if we somehow got to the playoffs we would always fail.

The fact that other baseball fans now look to the Red Sox as the team to disparage or chase or beat up whenever possible....I dunno, it's so weird. The Phillies have a higher payroll and have won 5 straight divisions...where's the Philly hate? The Mets had a higher payroll for quite a time. The Tigers had a higher payroll in 2008, Cubs in 2009. It's not like a payroll got us Pedroia and Ellsbury and Lester and Youk and Salty and Buchholz. It's not like we're some dominant team - we sucked in April and we suck now. We make huge FA deals that either disappoint or blow up - Dice-K, Lackey, Crawford.

It's nice to have a team that is run well, and can be in the top 5 in payroll - but the Rays seem to do a lot more with less, have a lot more talent, and are fighting for a playoff spot with the second lowest payroll in baseball. If you think the Sox are just the Yankees in red uniforms instead of pinstripes, then you're not a baseball fan.

Spoken like a Yankee fan. "Jeter, Mo, Bernie, Cano, all home grown! When we spend $100 million on a free agent, they suck!"

1) Bernie hasn't played for the Yanks in years
2) if it were 'spoken like a yankee fan' it would have the air of someone used to two decades of being the premier baseball team in MLB, not the guise of someone who grew up rooting for the constant loser.

I'll say it again - if you equate the Yankees and Red Sox, you are no fan of baseball.
