As just a casual fan, Im rooting hard for The Rays to make it over the Red Sox. Never thought fans could be more annoying than yanks fans but Sox fans in this area have replaced them. Couldn't be happier to see them lose to the orioles
oh my yes
SheBar and I attended a Rays game in 2008 vs WhiteSox and had the pleasure of sitting directly in front of "SoxFan" and "YankeeFan", who had come to the game together with their ladies/wives.
Now Rays were playing great, but it was still well before anyone was taking them seriously.
But Yankees had an awful start to 2008, so SoxFan starts ranking on YankFan about it.
And then YankFan starts in with the "30 World Series!!" and SoxFan retorts with "Greatest Collapse in History! (yanks blowing the 3-0 lead in 2004 playoffs)....and oh man.......
It went on for like an hour before we relocated our seats
Bottom line....SoxFan has reason to be very proud of 2004 and 2007.
But that is pretty much it for the last 93 years
It started early......
