And can JD Drew PLEASE get a hit when it counts?! And not some cheap infield single when the game is already won or out of reach?
The Braves Dodgers and Cardinals all said the same thing.
LOL thats why I hate Sox fans. I find it ironic that there are some "die-hard" Sox fans in a Spurs forum... I mean that bandwagon must be a nice one to be on. I have no problem with fans in Boston rooting for the Sox, but the people outside of it with the reasons like "my grandpa was from Boston" or "I've been to Boston" are the people that only cheer when they are good. That's what this nation is all about, it's about jumping on the bandwagon.
Is that not how all fans become fans??? How many fans played for the team that they root for??? Do you not pass on your favorite team preference to your kids???? I have lived in Texas since I was 9 yrs old, but my dad and grand dad were from Connecticut and were life long Redskins and Red Sox fans, so naturally I always hated the Cowboys, even when all my friends loved them. Just because you live in the state does not mean you have to root for that team. Some people pick a team for no reason at all, but decide that they like that team.
Kori hated the Spurs for her whole life, she was a Suns fan, she did not like DRob at all and thought he was a pussy. Kori switched to SA when they drafted TD...is she a bandwagon fan???
I just root for the teams around my town. I'm a Indians, Browns, and Cavs fan. They don't put teams in cities so you could root for a team that plays 3000 miles away from you. If that were the case it would be like pro wrestling and they would just travel from city to city each week.
The reason I have a problem with this Red Sox Nation is because nobody gave a about them before 2004 (and by nobody I mean 75% of the "Nation" and the national media). I went to games when the Indians played the Sox in the 95 and 99 playoffs...there was no Red Sox Nation then. I didn't get harrassed by Red Sox fans at Jacobs Field. Frankly nobody cared about them.
Then something happened in the early 2000s, these are the reasons the Red Sox gained their fan base. Henry bought the team and would basically treat them like the Yanks and try to buy championships (so people like that), ESPN latched onto the Yanks/Sox rivalry which didn't exsist outside of Boston/New York before 2002. The Red Sox gained support because people didn't like the Yankees (and still don't), but the reasoning for people not liking the Yanks are what the Red Sox have become. Basically, if you hate the Yankees (which is alot of people) and you don't really care about baseball, your a Red Sox fan.
No problem with that unless you pick the team right after they win the championship and you're over age 15.
Then you're just a front running bag.
Every team has its bandwagon fans, but the Red Sox Nation is laughable and annoying. They elected a President, for cripes sake, and I have to hear it from the likes of Tim Russert. Pathetic.
There were some great series that helped build up the Red Sox/Yankees rivalry at the end of the last decade and beginning of this one. I have to admit that while I remained an Astros fan, I bought into the Red Sox underdog mystique, and I loved watching those games because I felt like they were all historic.The reason I have a problem with this Red Sox Nation is because nobody gave a about them before 2004 (and by nobody I mean 75% of the "Nation" and the national media).

Ever since 2004, though, I just don't care... I'd prefer neither team make the postseason.
Well I am Cardinal fan due to my family growing up around St Louis, and my father's father being a Cardinal fan.
So, I guess that means I jumped on the bandwagon?
Everyone's idea of what cons utes a bandwagon fan differs, but the truth is there is no definition. I am a Rangers fan, but I have been accused of being a bandwaggoner because I root for the Sox, particularly in the postseason.
Personally, I don't see the damage in pulling for a team when your team can't even sniff the playoffs. But to each their own, I guess. I am tired of people attacking and trying to get one up on each other around here instead of just debating the game like rational people.
To most fans, BoSox Fan has become what they've hated for so long - Yankee Fan, except without all of the success to hang their hats on.
Normally, good teams and their bandwagon fans don't bother me. It crosses the line, IMO, when I have to hear or read about it incessantly. Guys like Gammons/Simmons and the company they work for make it almost unbearable for baseball fans of other teams not named Boston or New York.
The Indians close out the Yankees and what's the lead on ESPN? Torre and whether or not he comes back.
Perfect, just perfect.
Great post.
And yea all of Red sox nation is bandwagon. Its too funny. I dont even think they have any true fans.

3-1 Sox
Comon Sox, let's get some more runs in the inning, then turn the game over to Jonathon in the 9th to close it out.
4-1 Boston
Time for them to hurry up and Bring in Gagne
Nice ball called for a strike....just keep ing Manny over and over....he will get even.
who says the Red Sox can not manufacture runs? A walk, an error, a bunt single and a passed ball for a run in the 8th.
3-2
Curt needs to execute his pitches on Sat and we can take it to game 7...then the pressure falls back on The Tribe.
Is Beckett really that much of a ? He's actually going to run his mouth at Lofton for flipping his bat on a walk just one game after his teammate Manny makes an ass of himself showing up the Indians' pitcher? Where was Beckett blasting Manny in the media for acting like an ass? ass hypocrite.
They have a history against each other when Beckett was with the Marlins. Lofton pisses off the opposition quite often, and after awhile people just get fed up.
You actually think Beckett is a ??? The most clutch playoff pitcher in baseball??
Boston will complete the comeback from 3-1 down and will win it all.
I walked into a 's Sporting Goods and was shocked to see Indians World Series T-shirts on sale... There are also reports Wal-Mart is selling them too....Ohhh that sinking feeling has returned...
If thats true, boo on Cleveland..
Man they go to the Finals and the ALCS and they think they are in championship central.
Beckett was on fire last night. And his postgame interview was nice.
