But they don't do this stuff for every other championship. The ONLY place you hear about it is Sport's Illustrated's "Order now and get a video of Team X's amazing championship season, a team themed ball, and a team chair. These are individually numbered, so get yours now. Plus you get 52 weeks of SI and the swimsuit edition." And they do that spiel for eveyone who wins anything.
And I still stand by the fact that Padre fans have waited longer than Red Sox fans did. How does that work? Well, since the Pads have never won, it has been forever since they last won. So ha.
See man, that's the it exactly! Nobody outside of New England ever thought of the Red Sox as "special"- just another team who hadn't won in a long time. We were really just happy cause you took down the Yanks, and did it in such a gutwrenching way.
Derek- I bet Cub fans won't be this bad, cause they don't whine like the Red Sox fans did. :)

Quote:by winning, it makes the Red Sox like the other teams, as opposed to special... just a team with devoted fans
