How many of you are tired of the Red Sox and their fans blaming their losing woes on other teams (especially the Yankees)? I am so tired of Red Sox fans looking to blame everyone else, instead of trying to get to the root of the real problem (themselves)!

Just how long has it been since the Sox won?
To put that in perspective....since 1918...
1. Radio was invented; Red Sox fans got to hear their team lose
2. TV was invented; Red Sox fans got to see their team lose.
3. Baseball added 14 teams; Red Sox fans get to see and hear their team lose to more clubs.
4. The Ice cream bar was invented in Iowa (1922).
5. The Great Depression came about.
6. The US participated in two world wars, and four major armed conflicts.
7. Mahatma Gandhi lead the civil disobedience movement in India against Great Britain.
8. Man landed on the moon. (In fact, more people have walked on the surface of the moon than the Red Sox have championship trophies.)
9. Many Red Sox fans were born, died, and never got to see the Sox win a championship.
10. Many ballparks were built, and re-made.
11. Women were given the right to vote.
12. Two atomic bombs were dropped.
13. Element 87, Francium, was discovered.
14. Communism was born, resulted in a Cold War, the Berlin Wall and the eventually demise of.
15. A space station was developed, built and has orbited the Earth millions of times.
16. A robotic lander has traveled the surface of Mars.
17. Computers and the internet were invented.
18. The Civil Rights Movement was born, came to pass, and segragation was abolished.
19. The arrivial of the 21st Century!
20. Minorities were given the right to vote.
21. "The Star Spangled Banner" became the national anthem by act of Congress.
22. Flagpoles were erected on the Fenway Park roof to hold all of the team

And as far as blaming other teams/people go... We enjoy doing it!
