Who cares about the sox. Yeah, I fail to understand that. Understand this; I have friends and family members who are Sox fans. I've been inundated with nonsense about that team... They predicted greatness again this year even though conventional wisdom was against the team. The comment I made earlier about their poll stands. If AJ were traded, you wouldn't have a poll during a Cubs game to solicit feelings about their players. Yeah, that poll sounds like a joke but what do you expect? They predicted greatness because for the last 7 years or so, they've been a .500 team or better every year. That's nice that you have friends and family members who are Sox fans. I'm sure a lot of us on here do. I just fail to see the point to completely root against them no matter what. I saw in rivalries that you wanted the Sox to win over the Pirates. That makes absolutely no sense, family members or not.
