Experts Reveal Ignorance!

Sox Fans never have too much trouble staying on the edge of their seats, even when the Sox aren't playing, thanks to the numbskulls who pass themselves off as "experts" about baseball and the Sox. WSI's Patrick Ferrini has plenty to say on this subject and what Sox Fan doesn't?

ESPN? Nyet!
