Remember when being a Boston Red Sox fan was about the same as being a masochist guaranteed to be disappointed yearly? Yeah, me neither. (For the record, I am not a Red Sox fan, but know people who are and who wore that yearly badge of disappointment and shame with honor, but happily took it off when the Red Sox won the world series)
I do, and I still feel no pain for them.

I do, but I grew up rooting for the first franchise to lose 10,000 games, so I was never sure rooting for the Red Sox was true baseball masochism.

When the team honored Bill Buckner in 2008 after the second World Series win. The curse really was over. It was also one of the most moving events I have ever seen in sports.

These days, I give props to people who grew up an Astros fan and are still sticking with them.

Being a Cubs fan is a philosophy of life.

Heh, Cubs fans have it way worse. They even missed the Back to the Future deadline.
