You guys have fixed your "curse" and are able to live up to your pre-season hype. Every spring through early fall, millions of Cubs fan watch their team and get hopes so high that they can only be brought down by a monumental crash. Although you used to have The Bambino, Bucky "F&*^#$!" Dent, and a few other bad regular and post season screw-up's, you also have the 0-3 comeback and last years 2nd championship team in 4 years. We have to deal with Alex Gonzalez and Leon Durham not being able to field routine ground balls, Steve Garvey, and the Amazin' Mets of 1969. While the two teams have supplied some of the most lovable and liked (redundant maybe) players in MLB history (Ernie Banks, Ted Williams, Billy Williams, and Carl Yastrzemski), and also some of the most disliked (Sosa and Manny being Manny). Boston has learned how to play in the post-season, whereas the Cubs have only learned how to lay down and take a beating like few other franchises in any sport has ever known (my greatest sympathies to Arizona Cardinals, Houston Astro, and New Orleans Saints fans). But to give up on the Red Sox for being down by 7 in a playoff game in a year in which they are the defending World Series champions tells me how spoiled New England is right now with the Celtics, Patriots, and Red Sox (the Bruins spoil no one). Get over it and realize that you are living in one of the most dominant sports cities in recent memory and if you have one bad season, big deal you still have football (oops, no Brady), and if that doesn't go well, then you still have the boys that play in the House that Larry Legend built As a Cubs fan since birth, I do not want to hear any Red Sox fan talk about being unsure if they can still be a BoSox fan.
