Some clown over at SI:
Maybe it says more about us than it does about you, Bostonians, but you were far more likable when you were long-suffering. Winning all the time might be fun, but it's not nearly as charming. We felt for you when you would face another bitter winter after the Sox had found one more agonizing way to lose to the Yankees. We enjoyed those long, melancholy odes to despair that you would produce as the Celtics floundered in the post-Larry Bird years. Writers such as Stephen King and Doris Kearns Goodwin turned Boston's mystique of losing into something grand, something literary.
Well, boo-hoo. Let me tell you something: literary is overrated. I could go on, but why bother when the bottom line can be found written on an old pitcher? Yeah, that's right. Now go get you and your loser dust out of here.
