Not just “negative comments”, but the “nothing ever works out for us” or “of course they didn’t win” bull****. Given how rare championships are for the majority of teams, it shows a total lack of perspective.
    There are a lot of arrogant,"pink hat", and "moaning Larry from Malden", Boston sports fans. Scarlet is not one of them.

      That doesn't prevent her from sliding into that mode from time to time, however. It's ingrained in all New Englanders, given their little brother complex with New York.

        Quite the broad brush.

            And I for 7, but I do not extend it to all of New England. Mas-sholes, yes, obviously. Rhode Islanders are just Mas-sholes who are somehow even more mobbed up. Southern New Hampsters are Dumpies who ran from Boston because of The Element. And Connecticut east of Hartford might as well be Worcester.

            But Maine, northern New Hampshire, and eastern Vermont are basically Canadians who don't get health care. And western Vermonters are smart enough to be New Yorkers (albeit only upstate).

            So your brush is too broad.

            When the Great Racist Scots-Irish Moron Garbage Truck in the Sky backed up and unloaded its fetid cargo like a glacier in retreat, it only engulfed 2 full states and parts of 3 others.

              Roughly a month into the season and the Reds are on pace for 24 wins.

              The fewest amount of wins in history is 20 by the 1899 Cleveland Spiders, but that doesn't really count because their owners owned another team and sent all the best players to the Browns (now the Cardinals).

              Outside of that is the 23 wins by the 1890 Pittsburgh Alleghenys (Pirates) and in the modern era it is the 1916 and 1919 Philadelphia A's with 36, but those seasons were played with 153 and 140.

              Since the AL and NL went to 162 games in '61 and '62, it is the '62 Mets with 40.

                A's take the series from the Red Sox on an 8th inning home run by Khris Davis. This is fun!

                              I forget, is that 3 pitches, 3 outs, or a 9 pitch strike out the side?
