[No2W2004]

Its the same with us Cubs fans

every spring we just KNOW it's "our year"

[zzapatista]

5. Red Sox fans

keep hoping and hoping for a championship every year since 1918, but they always blow it in the end.

9. Red Sox fans fantasize about winning the World Series

It's OK to have that fantasy as a Red Sox fan, but Bush lives in a fantasyland if he thinks he is helping the environment.

6. He is a Red Sox fan...

he was cutting on himself...

11. Exactly. It's a private joke among Red Sox fans.

I just heard a graduate from Boston University joke along the same lines.

[TheWebHead]

Massachusetts isn't a swing state...

plus it's "self-deprecating" :)

7. As a transplant Red Sox fan

I can explain.

We haven't won a world series in almost 100 years. We always come sooooooooooo close, yet never grab the brass ring.

The red sox traded babe ruth to the yankees. Since then, curse of the bambino.

Bucky
Buckner

The four most hated men north of Hartford, Connecticut.

[zzapatista]

14. But he's a Red Sox fan. I think it's like gonna be a charming inside...
