I have a lot of friends on my FL L-- they live near and far and it's a great way to keep up with everyone. I've enjoyed to social aspects and I keep the drama as much to a minimum as I can.

I know others don't like it, but I always have.

But today ... today!

I "liked" a post from the Red Sox Facebook page and Facebook -- oh why? WHY? -- suggested I might "like" the Yankess Facebook page.

    Perhaps, have you considered, that baseball might technically be the root of all that is evil since it is causing you to consider deactivating your FB accounts, and thus, possibly destroying your friendships and alienating you from the rest of the world?

    I concur... that's not even to mention what I think about Derek Jeter and his "looks".

    Red Sox and Yankees are equally stupid in my opinion...

    Both teams buy talent and their fanbase is mostly bandwagon fans.

    Uuuummmmm .... Don't all professional teams buy talent?

    And I became a Red Sox fan when I was 13 and visited Boston for the first time and fell in love with the city. Not to mention my home town's minor league team was a Red Sox farm team for many, many, many years and several of the big-name Red Sox started there.

    I've loved them through bad times and good. You realize they didn't win a World Series for nearly 100 years, right? Tough to be a
    "bandwagon fan" of a team that took so long to bring home a championship ....

    You know, I'm always amused when a Red Sox fan brings up the "100 years since a championship win" thing. There are lots of teams that have never won a championship.

    Not that that is relevant, but I just needed to point it out. :tongue:

    Oh, I get that. I'm just pointing out that it's pretty funny to say someone is a bandwagon fan of a team that didn't win a championship for the first 27 years of my life and hadn't won one for almost 70 years before I was even born.

    I'd have to research, but the teams that have never won -- how long have they been around? Are they mostly newer frnachises?

    And, well, this was about baseball, but I'm also a Buffalo Bills fan. so I do know about never winning a championship! lol

    Bandwagon fans are people that only become fans when a team is successful or popular. The Red Sox have been much more successful and popular since the 2004 season and have picked up a lot of bandwagon fans as a result.
