BoSox Win
So they Red Sox finally win. Will the fans now shut up?
Honestly, I think people care more about the Sox fans shutting up than they do about the team winning the Series. We’ve tolerated this behavior only because we sympathized with the number of close calls, near misses and desperate letdowns. We’re sorry they suffered for such a long time, because we suffered with them.
Now their suffering has ended. And so must ours.
Shut up already. No more whining about how long it’s been, about Yankees payroll, about Buckner or Schiraldi or Dent. No gripes about anything of any kind. You’re the champs of all baseball so start acting like it.
If a team wins the World Series, their fans should be banned from complaining for a decade. In fact, if any team wins a title in any league, they should be required by lay to shut their traps for ten years. No Marlins jokes about their first title team being dismantled by an idiotic car salesman. No Rams comments about injuries or free agency. No Yankees complaints ever. No hockey team should ever (that includes the current labor strife) moan about a lack of success, attention or salary increase.
Boston, New England, the whole region – we’re happy for you. Honest we are. Now zip it. Not a word. You went 80 years without a title. I don’t care if you go 8 or 80 more before you get another one. I just don’t want to hear another crybaby moan from any of you. I mean it. You won. Enjoy it – in silence, please.
