This coming from Cleveland. Let's just get it done with, I told my brother in law, a rabid Cubs fan. Cancel the Series and pay the Cubs to play the Yankees or Red Sox or White Sox or all three and call it the World Series. No discomforting reporters in flyover country. He'll pay to see it an pay plenty and knows it too! Or just offshore all the dinktown teams overseas. Get 'em off the tube, I say, to make more room for College Football.

I've been a Bosox fan long enough (several decades) to still be jonesing for big wins, even after two titles in three years. It's a thirst that can't yet be quenched.

Try being an Indians fan. They demolished the Yankees and led Boston 3-1 in the ALCS. I was sitting midway between third base & home for game 4 where they made it a 3-1 series. The stadium was going crazy! The whole town was ecstatic! Imagine the crushing disappointment watching Boston snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Try being a Browns fan. To this day I still hate Elway for 'the drive.' While I don't fault Ernest Byner for his last 5 seconds of the game fumble while crossing the Denver goal line for the game winning touchdown a year later, I can't forget it either. Boston never did have a monopoly on blowing the big one. Cleveland wrote the book. (But they're still my teams)

They still are. I'm an A's fan, and when the Sox come to Oakland, they bring with them the angriest, most impolite, vitriolic, drunk and combative fan base in baseball. You never see so many fights break out at the ballpark as when the Red Sox are in town. They may do a good job supporting their team, but they are the worst fans in baseball in my opinion. “It used to be that it was Boston fans who were the angry ones.”
