This might sound treasonous...
... but I think it's pretty cool that the Red Sox won the World Series. Never in my life did I believe that they were owed anything and yet, before last night, every Boston fan would have you believe that they were somehow cheated out of glory. They were never cheated. There was never a curse. It was a drought. An 86 year drought. Several baseball franchises have never won a World Series in their existence, so one could say that they may have more right to gripe than Boston did.
Now the drought has ended. The Red Sox Nation can finally revel in victory and we'll no longer have to hear about this team's "misfortunes." It's done. All that annoying whining is finally gone. At long last, Red Sox fans can cheer for a team that even they can accept as no different than any other.
If they keep that nucleus together, don't be surprised if we see another celebration in Bean Town next year. They proved themselves the best team in baseball this season.
