RE: [Celtic_Pride] Celtic Fans

["Mike Griffin" <mgriffin@rillc.com>]

I'm just one of those rare Celtic fans who happen to be Yankee fans so,
no I don't keep up with the Red Sox other than to watch their annual
crumbling each August/September and that the Yanks own Pedro like no
other team.  Duquette is a dork and Gammons is the biggest homer @ ESPN.
Patriots stink (Big Dolphins fan here) and Boston sports have not been
kind to the locals basically since Bird/McHale/Parish.  Hard to really
point out any other notable event for the Red Sox because they haven't
been a meaningful participant since 86.  So it's not about shallowness,
it's about the Red Sox actually doing something that is worth
remembering.  I know Duquette is a jerk and it is amazing that he has
kept his title as long as he has.  He should have been run out of town
for letting Clemens go.

Are you really that shallow that the only thing you can think of is
Buckner? 
Or is it just that your knowledge of Boston sports is so slim that that
is 
the only thing you know about?
