Rick, you're letting reality and facts cloud your judgement.
The Curse of the Bambino is what makes Red Sox fans root for the team year after year; careless management and ineptitude is what makes Cubbies fans root for them.
The might of the Yanks and A-Rod's salary is of no consequence.
Of course there's no other team we'd rather beat than the Yankees, and we'd love to see Steinbrenner get so steamed and furious that he'd inflate and burst leaving pinstriped guts, entrails and shit all over Yankee Stadium.
Mark Cohen, indeed I KNOW what's going to happen on the last pitch, but just like the movie Groundhog Day, we're doomed to do it over and over again.
So here I am doing it again for another season.
'Spaw, thanks for trying to get the little Sox/Cubs movement going in spite of all the yaysayers. Yes, I meant "yay" sayers.
