To all Boston Red Sox fans....BeantownJim ,anyone....How can you stand it?

Its been 20 years now since my Orioles have won the World Series

For the record I am no longer an Oriole fan

Mainly because the game of baseball has changed so much , and secondly Peter Angelos has runied the tradition of Baltimore Baseball

But, how do the Red Sox fans stand it

no World Series titles EVER, in your lifetimes

Such a fabled franchise and never winning the big one for all its fans has got to be nuts!

I`ve always admired the Boston Red Sox as a tradition rich historical team....But when you really sit back and think about it, not winning it all in over 80 years now

!

Is there any team with more history and near misses and heart breakers than Boston Red Sox

Maybe its BeantownJim`s fault

Can you imagine the BeantownJim household back in 1986 game 6 vs. NY Mets?

Or even further back game 7, 1975 vs Reds

Or the Bucky Dent homerun

I can assure everyone he doesn`t have a pet named "Stanley"

Being from the Boston area, I've just gotten used to the fact that they haven't been able to win it all. They always start off on the right track, but come mid summer they just fall apart. It would be great if this was their year but I'm not going to get my hopes up.

I hear you..I can only imagine how that must feel...Its got to be to the point where you expect something to screw it up!

I can relate as a Maryland Terps fan in basketball...FINALLY we got our title!

Maryland always found a way to lose the big one just barely....

I was just sitting here watching this Red Sox game and the reality of 83 years of not winning it is mind boggling, considering how many great players and teams Boston has had.
