One of the reason I like rooting for the Red Sox, besides the fact that if I didn't I would be a traitor to everyone around me, is that I still see them as an under dog team. I realize that they are incredibly strong team and that the 86 year drought was a horrible fluke...but still it feels really, really good when they win and it's not only because they are the home team, it's because in the back of my mind I expect some kind of ridiculous fluke to occur again. For the first time in a long time I'm excited about baseball....and that's saying a lot for a person who confuses innings with first downs.
Also, I'm not a huge fan of being a fan because someone is an underdog, but it sure makes the winning sweeter. ;)
P.S. To all the haters, how do you like them apples?
