Heh, the only team I really watch is the Red Sox. I probably have yet to see them face teams 20 times, except AL East teams.

[ahhchon]

when i was a kid i didn't have the luxury of good cable channels. or cable at all. i had the regular built in antenna. most of the games i watched were games shown on basic channels. the only way i knew anything about the sox were through sports section of the news, the internet and live games.
