A few years back, a columnist, I believe it was Gerry Callahan, called Boston "Loserville". The Sox have had it, the Pats appear to be in trouble, and I don't think Shaq is the answer for the Celts. I hope we're not heading back to Loserville.
I hope he writes another column about how Boston is Loserville because 6 titles later, it was pretty anti-prophetic.
Pfffffff Yeaaaaaah…we have it REAL bad. I mean, with a baseball team that is constantly in contention, a Basketball team that came within a few minutes of their 2nd title in 3 years, and a football team that makes the playoffs every year.
Yep, poor us.
