Its so funny to see the Sox fans trying to justify their existence now 
First, for TEF's BAM about this team- guess what, IT WON"T. You say no one outside of NYC care about our 26 WS- and who the hell do you think outside of Boston will care about this one WS win? Huh? Everyone rooted for you guys in the Pennant series, and mostly because people hate the Yankees. There will be nothing memorable about this WS except perhaps that Boston broke its long drought- thats it. You think people in LA will give a damn? Or in Minnesota? NO.
As for your little chant being painful for us.. embarrasing, ymost certainly, but we will ge over it, as we always do- even when we had decade long droughts Yankee fans now they will be back- a single collapse, even a historic collapse won't remove our confidence- we aren;t defined by losing moment like the Soxs have. We have far too many triumphal ones to remember, and even more heartbreaking loses to mourn. 2004 was a monumental embarrasment. 2001 was a huge heartbreak (And a magnificant WS with long baseball memories, something this series up to know has distinctly lacked)
IN fact, just look at both your posts: you define yourself in relation to the Yankees! To be "Yankee killers", you have to define your being in relation to someone elses. The Yankees don;t need the Boston Red Sox to define themselves with- we have the Babe, and Mick, and Lou, we have Murderers Row, and the Bronx Bombers, we have the one perfect game in WS history, Yogi and so many other things.
And thats the point: for so long, Boston fans have had their hate of NY, their desperation, their shared suffering to hold them together, cause they had nothing in 86 years to cheer about- this year, what made being a Soxs fan special will end..very sad. And the problem is, the next time the Yankees win a Pennant, whatever little chant you use now won;t even last. We got decades out of our chant, you guys won't even get one from you silly little one.
