That's enough to make poor Ted Williams roll over in his icebox.

Seriously,Chuck,I really wanted to see the Sox get a play-off spot.A Yankees/Bosox ALCS final would have been fun to watch.Great rivalry!Also would have been sure to liven up the board,too.

Hey, at least the Sox won the first half of the season!

(As per every year since 1500 . . .)

Kinda amazing that you're statistically more likely to be able to see two Haley's Comets than two Bosox World Series wins,isn't it?
Ok, now I know that this is all good fun, and I certainly don't take any of it too personally, but we should at least get some facts straight. The Red Sox have won five World Series, including the very first one in 1903. They would've won again in '04, except that the NL champions refused to play against the "upstart" league. In any case, they won in 1903, '12, '15, '16, '18. Now I know all you Yankees gloaters, I mean fans, only care about "What have you done for me lately?". And obviously, the Sox haven't done much lately. But 5 championships in 100 years is a larger statistical result than the number of times Halley's Comet is visible from Earth in 100 years.

Yeah, but it ain't nowhere as good as winning 25. Let me repeat that...25! Working on number 26.

Perhaps the Dead Sox should reverse the season. But, then again they might lose both halves of the season.
