Well, at least you don't bitch about it like Red Sox fans. I swear, until last year, all you heard was bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch.
Man, Both teams in Chitown are going longer than they went wihtout a winner, and they don't bitch 1/1000th as much. And, their fans don't give up on them when they suck. the Cubs ALWAYS sell out. They have the same thing as the Redsox, one of the last "historic" parks. The Redsox (and Yankees, by the by), have a worse average attendance than the Twins over the past 20 years. In short, Boston(and New York), can suck a fat one.
ALthough, the Whitesox can't bitch. They're truly cursed by the baseball gods. IT's their fault, for thier Blacksox throwing the series in 1908 (which....if my math is right, is...oh...10 years longer than Redsux "strife") Ok, back on the Redsux, they went the the series at least, they had chances. And dont' give me the Buckner excuse, you had another game. Just like I cannot really get all pissy about JEffrey Maiyer stealing the ALCS from Baltimore. ALthough, winning one game in New York is huge when you have three at home. But, anyway. Boston is bitches.
I'm pulling for a Cleveland Baltimore ALCS, with the Northeast sucking their thumbs after we whup thier asses.

You got your years mixed up. The Blacksox scandle was in in 1919. The last cubs WS title was in 1908. So the Redsox strife really was a year longer. But people forget that Ruth wasnt traded until 1920 i believe, so imo the "curse of the bambino" didnt really begin till then.

The Red Sox have a low average attendance because Fenway only holds about 37,000. If you look at the percentage over the last couple years, they sell out every game.
