Bwahahahahaha!!!! You're are truly disconnected; but that's ok, it's to be expected of someone so far up GWB's butt.
The story of the Red Sox transcends baseball because it's a story of the long-time losers FINALLY winning. There are teams like the Sox in every sport. Teams with a history of coming oh-so-close. The Sox, with their habit of blowing it, were the posterchild for capable teams that couldn't win the big ones. That they finally did makes their win such a big deal.
