NFL Fan Rants - Rant and rave about how your favorite football team will fare this year. The BoSox have made the playoffs twice in a row and gave the Yanks the best run for their money in the 1999 playoffs. They have arguably the best pitcher in baseball, one of the elite shortstops in the game, and added one of the best new centerfielders in the game in the offseason. I don't actually live there anymore, but I can feel the buzz in Boston all the way down here in Virginia.
Talk shows are all about it.
The buzz has pushed the also rans Bruins and Celtics off the front page, that is when they aren't committing acts of inhumanity. Welcome to the mind of the Red Sox fan. Peter Gammons, a card carrying BoSox diehard perhaps put it best. It would take away their greatest source of complaining. Dan Shaunessey, my favorite columnist and originator of the now infamous Junk Drawer writing style, has already doused the Red Sox Nation with a bucket of ice water in his latest piece, lamenting that SI has officially jinxed us with their Preview Issue cover.
