    That would be wonderful if the Sox played 162 games in September........

    Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are .

    How can you lay the blame on J.D. Drew for the Sox "falling" in September (when they didn't actually), if he was actually hitting very well?

    Easy. Their lead would have been bigger, and they would have been less likely to cough up leads if he were hitting all season long. The season isn't 30 days long. Lugo sucked too. We had two "leadoff hitters" batting 8 and 9 for most of the season, and our number 5 was actually number 2.

    The Sox are going to be AL champs though (apparently), so they've been doing something right.

    I hate the Sox. Their bandwagon fans (no offense to those on here) are the worst. I went to like three Sox/M's games this year and heard tons of people with no Eastern accents screaming and cheering for Boston. It's really infuriating.

    The Red Sox were great all season, despite Drew and Lugo struggling. They never stopped winning. There wasn't much that they could do to stop it from getting so close. They were still winning, the Yankees were just on an incredible roll.

    You're allowed to be a fan of a team without being from that team's area, or without having an accent from that team's area.

    But a lot of them were from Seattle, didn't know any of the Red Sox and were obviously cheering for them because they had the best record in baseball.

    I'm not sure how you can come to that conclusion without talking to each of the individual fans.

    It seems like you're just as much of a bandwagoner as they may possibly me...just AGAINST the Red Sox, rather than for them.

    You seem to just join the bandwagon of Red Sox-haters, going as far as to make baseless judgments about their fans.

    Sure it does. There's many people who "hate" either the Red Sox or the Yankees. Their the top two targets in baseball, hence the "bandwagon effect" that many people seem to "hate" both teams simply because many other people do as well.

    Or simply because they're good...the same reason he likes to claim that their fans like them.
