I've done it. I'm committing myself to the Red Sox Nation!
the Raiders have let me down this year, Redskins aren't worth mentioning, there's no real Laker Nation that I know of, and I'm still pissed of at Steinbrenner...so I did it. I'm joining the Red Sox Nation! Time for me to coboy up and learn the Yankees Sucks tuants :evilgrin:

9. You have NOT experienced true heartache until you devote your life
to the Red Sox.

Trust me, there is no God.

Or, if there is, he has a spiteful sense of humor!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

13. Listen to joeybee
Rooting for the Red Sox will break your heart. I'm a long time Rangers fan (sort of a Red Sox and Cubs fan in training). I let Will Pitt's contagious love of the Bosox infect me and threw in my lot with the Sox during the playoffs. You saw what happened. :-(

16. At least you'll now get out early...I'm in for life!
What you saw in the play-offs was just so typical of the Red Sox. It wasn't that the Yankess won, so much that the Red Sox found a way to lose!

19. Didn't the Rangers win it all just a few short years ago?
I don't know anyone who was alive the last time the Red Sox won it all!

22. Lord no!
The Texas Rangers have only made it to the playoffs twice in the history of the team and both times they were knocked out in the first round by the Yankees. Grr...

Hate the Yankees.

27. Yup, it has been pretty good
Although there seems to be a rule that only 2 of the Dallas area teams can be good at one time. For example: if the Cowboys and the Mavericks are playing well then the Rangers and Stars are DOOMED. :-)

18. It surely will break your heart....
It broke my father's heart for his entire life,and now it's looking like the same for me:( Will is a babe in the woods in terms of Red Sox misery...he has so much to look forward to.

Still....maybe next year will REALLY be the year:)

20. This last year SHOULD have been the year
Seriously, they could have easily beat the Yankees, but they found a way to blow it!

I'm predicting a .500 year next year.

21. Please listen,
Edited on Fri Dec-12-03 11:05 PM by DemOutWest
do not go down this road. I've been on it since 1967. I have fought drug addiction, alcoholism and too many Republican Presidents.

Being a Red Sox fan has been the most haunting part of my life.

Welcome to the club.

I'd be nowhere else but with the BoSox. I'd go with Schilling as we don't know where Nomar will be next year. Hopefully it will be in Boston.

Peace out except to the yankees. Bush is a friend of georgie.
