Catching the end of the ballgame last nite, I was very surprised to see
a huge number of Red Sox fans .....at the bar, as evidenced by their cheering
and whooping and hollering. That was OK I figured .......
Til the end of the game ........ when my friend Bill became suspicious of one
particularly belligerent "fan" of the Red Sox. He kept going on about how the SOX are "overrated", and they cant match the "real" sox (to which I was going to mention the whole thing we learned here about who the REAL SOX are) Bill mentioned something about the play of Bucky Dent and the Red Sox choke game of 1978. Fan began to look very confused. I mentioned it was the one-game playoff, how couldnt he remember that game ...... Bill and I became very suspicious and I was millisecond away from asking about
Jim Rice and Bernie Carbo and really start peppering the "fan" with questions, when he quickly Broke Down and said "OK Alrite .......im really a cub fan. Its a good day when the SOX lose" he said smirking.
I laughed and told him thats OK, he'll never see a Cub world series in his lifetime.....and Bill mentioned how was Woods arm. He said we needed
"real" fans like the Red Sox fans to fill that park up ........We laughed at him
