My thoughts exactly.  Several years ago a local sports writer called
Boston a team of losers since at that time the Pats lost a Super Bowl
and the Celts and Bruins were only close and it seems the Sox (my ex
always wanted to call them the dead flops) had just lost to the Mets. My
printed reclama stated, as you did, many cities in the US would die to
have teams so competitive that they are in the running for their sports
championships.  We are indeed on hard times, but in the end Boston will
once again return to a high degree of major league sports performance. 

p.s. I have moved all over the states/world and cannot bring myself to
part with my beloved Boston teams.  

Come on folks, lets think positive.
