I will gladly put hard core Bruins, Patriots and Celtics fans over Red Sox fans, collectively. Hardcore Red Sox fans seem to freak out at the drop of the hat. It seems that the true B’s, C’s and Pats fans aren’t as likely to do that. And that’s not the Pink Hat people, it’s the ones who actually watch Spring Training games and think “Yankees suck” is a rallying cry. Ugh.
Anyone who doesn’t think Tim Thomas is a good goaltender or that the Pats weren’t going to take care of Falcons can go root for a different team…

I hear what your saying, Tom….but unfortunetly, Radio Talk show callers (and WEEI call screeners) sort of steer the show. All week long on WEEI you heard the hosts making it seem like “Red Sox Nation” was in a huge panic because the Sox were losing games and playing their backups….GIVE ME A FREEKING BREAK!….a few numbnuts call the station in a tizzy and the hosts like The Big Blow start making it out that ALL Red Sox fans are in a panic…..PUH-LEESE….

Correction: the difference between Boston and the NYY was only $80 million for this season.

My bad.

Does Donaldson mention the fact that the Yankees actually won something this season by spending $86 million more on payroll than the “big spending” Red Sox did?

Let me repeat that Mr. Donaldson: $86 million more in payroll for the 2009 season……that’s the payroll of 2 or 3 “small market” teams, combined.

What a tool.

It’s not just Red Sox fans Jon. It’s C’s fans and Pats’ fans as well. In fact, it seems to be Boston fans. I know talk radio callers and blog commenters aren’t supposed to be a good representation of most fans, but I long ago accepted that the idea that Boston fans are knowledgeable is a myth.

The words ‘NHL hockey’ and ‘October’ don’t even belong in the same sentence, why bother getting worked up? In an ideal world the NHL kicks off Thanksgiving weekend and the playoffs start April 1. Even with that setup you could still probably get in about 70 meaningless regular season games.

The Bruins have a two-game losing streak.

Thank you.

Guy two rows in front of me practically had a stroke screaming at least 4 times during the game. Can’t even imagine what shape he would have been in if he had gone to games the year Dave Lewis was running things.
