It is probably somewhat unfair to say that Red Sox fans are the worst sub-species of human in the world. Turbofolk-listening Serb thugs are certainly more violent, though they do radiate more intelligence. Italian soccer fans are probably more racist, though they wouldn’t be caught dead wearing a pink cap. But in the world of baseball, I can think of no tribe so dull-witted, so bandwagonesque, so committed to turning what was once a charming underdog/curse story into an act with all the grace and humility of a Zell Miller speech in front of 15,000 fat Republicans howling for blood. They make Yankees fans seem civilized, and Rays fans seem like grizzled students of the game. (Here’s a test: Next time you hear a Donnie Moore joke, shoot back with a reference to Pumpsie Green, and note the unblinking glare of incomprehension.)

...A hard rain’s gonna fall on the Nation one of these days. What better way than to croak them the way they croaked us so many years ago—with three consecutive wins while facing elimination? The monkey on the Angels’ back is turning into a gorilla. Maybe recovering from an 0-2 deficit is the only way to truly exorcise the ghost that’s haunted this organization for two decades now. Is Joe Saunders man enough for the job? We’ll see....

BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Some butthurt L.A Times columnist is trying to rally the troops to support the Angels... No one cares about the Angels, not even Califags. Everyone else outside of Failifornia is reveling in the assraping Boston is giving to them and praying that the entire state of California falls into the ocean, killing everyone.

I'm not a Sox fan, but I've heard of Sox Nation. I've never heard of Angel Nation. There is no Angel Nation, just a bunch of meth heads from the Inland Empire and Orange County Mexicans who can't afford to pay for tickets and bus fare to go see the Dodgers.

Dodgers?

Ive actually never heard of "sox nation" and I lived in Boston for 10 years.
Da fuck are you talking about? Its called being a sox fan.

Anyway, the angels have a solid fan base in socal. Its kind of a rivalry. Just because espn doesnt cover west coast fandom, doesnt mean Boston and New York are the only big fan bases.

Besides, Im not an angels fan but I love that little monkey.

Red Sox Nation - Created in 2004 after a world series win.

Wow, that's significant.

You're right. Boston is fail because Anaheim has a gay little monkey.

TAKE THAT BOSTON - WE HAVE A MONKEY.

Red Sox Nation is the name for all the bandwagon faggots who jumped on board in 2004 and want to feel self-important.

Real Red Sox fans will call themselves just that, fans, none of that pretentious "Nation" bullshit.

Also, nobody outside of their respective cities likes either of these teams. Most of us are hoping for the Rays to come from the AL.

Boston is fail because as soon as the curse was broken, a brand new curse was let loose on the world, obnoxious red sox fans that are a fucking plague on this earth.

I'd rather see the rally monkey every day for the next 5 years than have to listen to you annoying fucking faggots talk about how much you love your team, when none of you gave a damn until you won a ring.

ESPN just empowers you retards and prods you into being more annoying. Seriously, if cubs fans didn't exist, you'd be the worst fans in all of sports. Right now, you're #2.

I rage whenever I hear someone say "Red Sox Nation." Its even worse when some ass fuck on Sportscenter says, "X team playing at The Nation!" NO, WHAT THE FUCK? Bawwwston is a city (and a shitty one) not the whole country what the fuck does that even mean. Fenway Park is not a country. Shut the fuck up I hope you die in a fire

I don't know why we try fellow anon. Boston fans are stupid and incapable of reading simple messages or understanding what was actually said.

It's like dropping out of grade school, getting a job in construction, and cheering for a terrible sports franchise was bred into them.

How do you pick a team for the post season? I'm a Braves fan and I still hate all of these teams just as much as in the regular season (except Tampa, but that's because they haven't been good long enough to hate).

I usually just root for the underdogs and the teams that haven't won in fucking forever

I was hoping for Cubs/Rays or Brewers/Rays but obviously that's not happening.

Which town has the best fans and deserve a real chance at seeing their decent team make it into the series? Also, try not to pick a team that steals fans from your team's market. I know A's fans won't cheer for the Angels, even though they still hate Boston. They also won't cheer for the Dodgers.

Rays are pretty good wagon to hitch to this season. I think it'd be good to see them make it to the end and win it out.

Fuck the Cubs. Cubs fans are the true curse of that team, not a goat or a fan catching a ball. Black cats have nothing on the pisspoor fans they have in Chicago.

Example, a Strikeout can get the stadium cheering like they just won a world series in 100 years. A Walk the next batter, and they will boo the pitcher like he just killed 8 babies on the pitcher's mound and then threw their bodies into the stands.

They have no fucking respect to players that #1, are only there because they're getting paid to be, and #2, want to win it just to win it, not because the lame fucking city hasn't seen it done in 100 years.

Instead of helping their team out and cheering them on no matter what, they treat players and managers like fucking garbage. Small wonder they don't win.

I enjoy a sport with a history of more than 100 years. More than 100 years that actually matter today when you talk about things. It's not like the NFL where you're talking about Superbowl #1 in fucking 1967. Nice history there. You have to start talking about side leagues and then the joining of them and consider all the other stuff that was done but doesn't count for much now.

MLB doesn't have to do much of that, except consider all the stats that were in the negro leagues before integration.

Part of being a "sox fan" entails actually watching games. You've obviously never done this if you've never heard of Red Sox Nation, because Remy can't get a through a whole game without mentioning it (although you probably don't know who he is, for the same reason.)

Also, where do you guys get off saying "OMG BAWWSTON IS SUCH A FAIL CITY?" Have you ever even been here? What exactly do you have against the city itself? Simply the fact that it's home to recently successful sports teams?

inb4 "BAWWWW" and other such posts, typical baseless 'hate boston' bandwagon response.
