I agree with you, Tom. And in reality, I may dislike (terribly) the Yankees, but don't usually rub it in when they lose. I just posted the Manny pic to be funny about my Sox happiness. Yeah, there were times it was almost embarassing being a fan. But I'd have to thank my grandmother, she was their BIGGEST fan. Listened to EVERY game on the radio (even up to last year!!!) while knitting. Occaisionally, she'd put her stuff down and yell something at the radio. She collected stuff from WAY back and it's still all here. She even has 40 year old score cards she kept for my grandpa for when he was working and couldn't listen to a game.
I remember some Yankee fans I worked with back in 2004 in AK.....they were all over my crap when they were beating us...but when we came back to win it, they were silent. I remember the news being on and it was showing the team and everyone celebrating when we won the series...and the Yankee fan in the room with me literally said, "I don't see what the big deal is". Oh, Mrs Jealousy, maybe the fact that they haven't won a series in 86 years???? It made me sick actually. You bet she would have been obnoxious as hell had the Yankees won.
Hang in there with the razzing...
