Hmm... I do wish that they'd won legitimately (and by that I mean "by winning the divison"), but other than that... all I'd agree to is that by winning, it makes the Red Sox like the other teams, as opposed to special... just a team with devoted fans. And in many ways, that's sad... I mean, it's good we won, but becoming 'just another team' is kind of too bad.
Well, I'd agree with a couple of those points (bandwagon fans aren't "real" fans, too much merchandising (though in this day and age it's inevitable), etc), but mostly... just people bitter that their teams aren't as good as the Sox are. :)
Oh yeah, and I could counter with this article.

Oh yeah... and maybe this'll make those stupid Fox announcers shut up about Babe Ruth now? Watching the playoffs last year was awesome... until you turned on the sound...
