I am a Braves fan, I remember starting to root for them back in the early 1980's because they were the underdogs. I think the Redsox have been that for some years, beacuse of the Yankees. The Redsox have some great personalities, I mean doesn't Big Papi look like he is having fun. It has a great historical park, great sluggers, great pitching, etc. If you don't like the Yankees, then the Redsox are the logical choice.

I'm not sure I'd call the BoSox overrated. They are a very good team. There are, however, plenty of "fans" who've jumped on the bandwagon recently because of their success. It happens every year, in every sport. Look at all the Detroit Tigers "fans" out there now. A team does good, and people will say they've "always rooted for them". Then, when that team turns for the worse, those same people will switch alliances. So, I would think there's plenty of wagon jumpers out there.

I have been a fan since the middle of the 2003 season and it wasnt all great
I watched Boone hit the game winning homerun off Wakefield in the ALCS
I saw Schilling pitch with the Infamous bloody sock too
I have been with the Redsox thru tough times and glorious times and i will continue pulling for them even if they start loosing
Redsox are very far from being overrated

I don't think the Red SOX are overated. They have the best starting pitching in baseball.
If there is a team in sport that doesn't have too many bandwagon fans, it is the Red Sox. Most of Sox fans have been fans forever. To me, the Red Sox fans are the most loyal fans in sport...they've stuck with the organization through thick and thin, that includes me.

I have been a Red Sox fan my entire life and I can say that I have never felt this good about a Red Sox team as I do about this one. I honestly think they have a great chance to win the whole thing....so no, they are not over rated!

while Roger Clemens reported he could retire some years decrease back....he replaced into meant to have performed his final interest against the purple Sox wearing a brand manhattan Yankees uniform. while Clemens walked off of the sphere, the purple Sox followers gave Clemens a status ovation. Clemens performed for the purple Sox until now enjoying for the Yankees and on an identical time as wearing a Yankees uniform, the purple Sox followers confirmed a multitude of sophistication and made me experience very proud to be partial to baseball. all of us have the main staggering to help our communities. do not be too intimidated via a opposition as good because of the fact the Yankees-purple Sox opposition. it somewhat is baseball.

No way are they over rated. This year they have the pitching that can take the division. I'm a Yankee fan and I don't see any flaws in their game this year. They always had the hitting with Ramirez and Papi now Youkalis is hitting the cover off the ball. I see them going places this year.

Not just Boston. There's always going to be a bandwagon for the fair weathered fans in all parks.

I've been a true blue Yankee fan forever (so it seems) and there are many things about the Red Sox I can't stand BUT I think they are the team to beat..........They've really gotten better and better over the past few years and my "pin strip heart" hates to admit it but truth is truth.............CAT
