guccilvr Somebody else effected by the disease huh? Its a bizarre connection isn't it? I follow a lot of different sports teams too but none come close to how I feel about the Sox, there is just something about them that few other teams seem to have...maybe it was all those years of consecutive, collective suffering we had to endure? |
You shouldn't be embarrassed about the emotions. Lots of us had emotions when they finally won the series. Now our emotions have switched to such high expectations that we act like idiots if our team fails to make the series. I remember watching a Sox Yanks game in 07 (think that was the year) when Boston hit 4 home runs in a row and I had tears in my eyes. It was a mixture of happiness, watching something I hadn't seen before and knowing we put a real dagger into the hearts of our most bitter of enemies.
We suffered, we endured and we surpassed. I cringe thinking about what's going to happen if the Cubs ever win another series.
