just like the Chicago Cubs still are, the sox were branded as lovable losers by most of the baseball world, until they finally broke a 86 year long drought to win a title, thanks to George Steinbrenner forcing them to compete. but hey, having the sox finally win was great for baseball, that i can admit, now if only the cubs can find a way, but dont hold your breath this year, the beast in the east has other plans and well frankly, the cubs suck.
Hatred comes from jealousy, and that list is full of teams who were winners (save it cairo, i know the Leafs didnt win the cup that year but should of if not for......... nevermind, not gonna stoop to a sox fans level with excuses) people love to hate a winner or anyone on top (like i did when i read Doc's reviews of his fun in Montreal this week!, seem he was on "Top" alot!) poor ladies, ... just kidding Doc. i have heard from time to time from the ladies you treat em well.
