Maybe you guys are just bigger fans than me. Sure I love this team. There are few things in life that I love more than the Red Sox. When we're not playing terribly well, it's hard to watch. I totally understand it. So what do I do? Anything I can. I'll change the channel, do something that makes me happy, like watch my favorite show, or talk to the girl I like, or go to the golf course. Nobody's making you watch. We're not bad enough to warrant this, but if you're watching every inning of every game when things are going bad, then you really don't have a right to bitch and moan, since you're putting yourself through it at your own will.
I'm not saying I'm better than any of you, or that my methods of fandom are superior to any of yours, but I'm just suggesting that you internalize your emotions. I feel all the same negative s*** as you, but I have ways of dealing with it, so it doesn't effect anybody else in my life. Once again, not saying this is a problem that occurs in your lives, I'm just saying that I'm tired of seeing only bitching and moaning on this place when this team has some of the most exciting young players in the league right now in Betts, Devers, and Chavis. I'm not saying I'm perfect either; I definitely do it too sometimes. The rule of thumb I use is I don't post anything here that I wouldn't say to the face of the player(s) I'm talking about. Again, not a suggestion, just a school of thought. As somebody who's been bullied most of his life, I just ask that you be cognizant of the impact words can have on people, whether it involves them or not, and whether you realize it or not
