They also like to give themselves nicknames and want others to call them by their nick name.

He has no horse in the pro-sports race. His is a game enjoyed by third world countries and people in Europe. A sport punctuated by flopping so severe that even first time masochists (soccer viewers) will recognize it right away.

Collectively, they are correct.

Don't lose perspective of my original post here.

Fenway Park is special for many reasons.

Old. Historic.

But most important: the fans.

Most parks would have been empty by the time the winning run was driven home.

Last Wednesday, the fans stayed well after the game was over.

Sorry if you're so jaded that you can't recognize that.

Individually, there are just as many d-bags as anywhere else.

I agree. Red Sox fans are special. Just ask them.

To understand one's own greatness is not easily learned, one must appreciate, not tear down in an act of jealousy. Nor should one resort to false modesty when adoration is expressed. One cannot aspire to the level of self respect and dignity required to be a truly great fan if one refuses to admit the superiority of the existing model...ya putz!

The fans?

*meh*

sadly, you're not getting closer. you don't rise by trying to tear down those above.

but, this place being what it is, I suppose it doesn't matter.

and The Boston is a chithole...

don't kill the messenger...

Just imagine if those fans also liked the world-wide sport of flopper.

TW is venting.

see? even though you knock us, you recognize how much more capable we are than other fans.

Thanks.
