America's Team starts a 4-game series with the Team that honors Satan with its name.
Four against the Devil Rays in Tampa. Should be interesting...ain't getting my hopes up. Tampa is a shell of itself this season, but Boston didn't win at Tampa last year until the play-offs.

3. There is too much evil in the AL east...Tampa, which has honored Satan...
...and the Spankees, a team owned by Satan.

5. The Red Sox are America's Team now?
When did that happen?

9. Is that because Texas wants to secede?
The Cowboys can't be America's team any more? (Like they ever really were.)

10. Nah, it was just because they suck.
Whereas the Red Sox, as everybody surely knows, are universally loved.

8. Tampa repented.
They're just the Rays now.

That said, I hope the Sox sweep. Wish I was going to the games, too.

18. They took Satan out of their name. They're just the Rays now. That's why they won last year. nt

19. You're quickly gaining on madinmaryland as one of the
most intolerable posters referring to the Red Sox as America's team.

The Cubs are arguably more popular than either the Red Sox or the Yankees.

You need to tone down the obnoxious behavior. Even if it's just in jest, it's comepltetely intolerable.

If I were to ever hear Sweet Caroline on the radio, there's a good chance I put a hammer through my stereo system.

Try to be satisfied with having a goos team, without dragging Boston into the gutter of the obnoxious.

They are certainly not America's team. Come on ow.

26. Madinmaryland is as close as the current winning team -- not
matter how little connection he has to them .. even if they're located in Tokyo.

28. Even for you, cboy, that is one of the most (can't use that word) mentally
challenged posts you have made in a while.

What kind of fucking Kool-Aid were you drinking last night!

23. I don't think of them as America's Team but, in any case, it didn't start out too well
At least Ells came through.

...then lost the next two...if the Red Sox take one I'll be happy.
