The Long-Suffering Sox Fan Shtick is Back!
From the NYT:
Of course, the NYT was lecturing us after the 2004 World Series: ‘With Nothing Left to Win, Fans of the Red Sox Suddenly Feel a Loss.’ … We suffer when we win. We suffer when we lose. No matter what, we suffer. Ah, Red Sox fans! Ah, humanity! …
As for the Sox this year, they bore me. They’ve bored me all year. And last year. They’re a boring team with a completely overrated pitching staff. ... Previous anti-poignant-pain posts here and here.
P.S. -- At Soxaholix, Marty is throwing cheap shots again.
From the NYT:
The ghosts were supposed to be exiled, the curses broken.Next up: How baseball is a metaphor for life, tired Shakespearean analogies, interviews with Doris Kearns Goodwin, a new curse name (nominee: Curse of Manny), etc.
But if the Red Sox fail to make the playoffs, and in historic fashion, those good feelings could be washed away and a new curse may emerge for fans to suffer under.
