That makes sense, JP. To tell you the truth, I used to have a soft spot in my heart for the BoSox. Partly because I enjoy rooting for the underdog (probably a byproduct of me playing on losing sports teams my entire childhood *sigh*), and I was happy to see the Red Sox finally shrug off the curse and win a World Series.

But then everything changed. Well, I guess it's because I'm bitter that they kept sweeping the Angels out of the playoffs? laugh

I know what you mean about the small market teams. It's almost like they are a professional farm system for the big market teams. Almost like they are expected to trade away a star player at the deadline because a stronger team will benefit more.
