The true Sox fans will keep their mouths shut until a title is secure. Surely three quarters of a century of futility would teach at least some lessons.

Thank you for this post.....I needed the distraction after hearing about another local kid passing defending us all.
To be a true Sox fan isn't about running to the front before July 4th singing the praises of Gonzales and Crawford though solid additions long needed.

True Sox fans can tell you where they were when Dent hit his wall ball or Luis A. fell down rounding third as easily as where they ate the night Fisk hit the foul pole or the four nights in 2004.

They have bled baseball 12 months a year for generations whether they win, lose or worse for well over a century. You can always spot a phony when .326, 44, 121 don't mean anything to someone who wears the blue cap with the Red "B" or they can't tell you who noodle arm Jose Tartabull threw out without a google search in the first game of an ole' fashioned Sunday twin in '67 when they were actually scheduled that way.

Though their fans refused to believe success was possible til the second one in 2007, that breed has given way to quiet satisfaction and the option to remind Yankee fans when necessary that although they have more than enough World Series victories to justify their devotion they also possess the worst loss in professional sports should they get too far out of hand.

As said in this thread prior.......game on dude!

I remember it was against the White Sox but can't remember the guys name. I know it wasn't one of their better players.

If I still had a record turntable I could play "The Impossible Dream" because I know it was on that.

Ken Berry of the Chi Sox thrown out by Danny Tartabull's Daddy who despite a dysfunctional noodle arm like few others saved the first game of a scheduled doubleheader with a well placed lobed misle that had Berry by a half step.

Worst loss? Losing after holding a 3-0 lead to me wasn't so much of a choke job as it was Boston going out and winning them. Losing a 14 game lead in the final month of the season is much more of a monumental choke in my opinion. Lest I remind you of the other B's. You know- Babe, Bucky...Boone not to mention Buckner but the Yanks had nothing to do with that.

Quiet satisfaction? Surely you jest. Go to Fenway with a Yankee cap and lets see about all of the quiet satisfaction.

You obviously are a Sox fan and if you suffered through all of those years, you indeed have every right in the world to gloat. The Sox are set up to be good for many years to come and the Yankees are going to have to make some pretty tough choices in the next couple of years.

Having said all of that, the Sox fans I know are still scared to death. I don't think the Yankees are any threat this year but I would say they are still a long way from ordering rings.
