Re: More hoopsworld



Dan:

Maybe the "Thanks Dad" phenomenon is our punishment for 
the largesse of Red Sox ownership (without doubt the 
Dallas Mavs of baseball). Nearly every other ML baseball 
team, including ones with glorious histories recent and 
past, are in exactly same offseason situation as the 
Boston Celtics face today...forced against all reason to 
lose core players and endure fan wrath to rivals like the 
Red Sox who seem willing to carry payrolls easily twice 
as large as teams with similar records.

I guess the difference is that the Celtics are profitable 
and have made the Gastons tremendously rich without any 
doubt. As for the Red Sox, yeah I know that Anaheim or 
Oakland are in good position to breeze past us into the 
playoffs. Its really a shame...all the injuries to date 
(not that the Yanks ever use it as an excuse). This is as 
talented a Redsox team, pitching and hitting, as Boston 
has ever had in my lifetime. Arguably the best team in 50 
years. But until they prove otherwise this year, they 
really do suck compared to the Yanks. Its ignorant to 
even call them "rivals", based on each team's histories. 
What a crummy weekend for our team...."Trot" Buckner etc.
