BeachDem, I hope you know I wasn’t questioning your fandom. I know you’re a legit fan and you’re native to the area. I’ve known fans of teams: Yankees, Lakers, yes Steelers, etc who have no ties at all or understanding of that adversity I talked about. The Red Sox alone have more championships than my Orioles have trips to the ALCS in the last ten years. You knew that 1918-2004 wait was tough and how sweet that 2004 win was. The people I’m talking about are the most obnoxious when the team is successful but jumping ship the start at trouble.
