    RedSox R.I.P.

    I didn't say they didn't deserve it, I simply don't have an attachment to them. Therefore, I won't be watching. I don't care if they win or not. Like ALOT of sports fans, I root for: My favorite team OR A team from my childhood that did well. Example: how many of you 35+ yr olds are...
