So does “rox” mark you as an outsider too, or a so far insider that you look like an outsider, or what?
Jesus can’t help you now, punks (Cockies). Even if you win.
Jesus is down 2 games to none.
I’m still pissed off at the BoSox - yeah, I’ll call 'em that, try and stop me :mad: - for having the temerity to claw their way back from a 3-1 deficit to win the next three games and thus shut down my beloved Tribe, so to the extent I care about this World Series at all, I’m rooting for the Rockies. Plus I want the widow of that Rockies farm-team coach who got killed by a line drive to get big bucks for her share of a winning team.
Baseball writers, fans, newspaper columnists, TV announcers et al. have been calling them the “BoSox” since before I was born.
Nah, just a bunch of idiots who are confused about what it means to be part of His fan club. 
I’ve been to Denver once, for 20 minutes, in the 80s.
Not exactly the bottom of the Marianas Trench, was it?
Well, there were mountains all around, so there’s that. But the atmoshpere was a little thin and dry, so that’s a wash.
I agree, lots of locals call them the BoSox, although The Sox is more common.
One normally sees that only in headlines, to distinguish them from the ChiSox with a minimum of letters.
Let’s not forget that the Red Sox have their share of Bible-thumpers, too, including some complete gentlemen and sportsmen as well as some relatively-unpleasant individuals. You’ll find that on almost any team, it seems.
Or that maybe, just maybe, many or most evangelical athletes don’t believe that the Almighty has favorite teams, only that He wants everyone to do the best they can with the abilities they have. That does seem to be the message, far more often, and that’s absolutely fine with me. If there’s any discriminatory hiring practices, or even clique formation, because of it, that’s not so fine.
The people confused about what it means to be a member of Jesus’s fan club don’t bother me much. The people who think Jesus is a member of their fan club tend to be complete assholes.
Growing up in Massachusetts, I say with great certainty that tdn is absolutely correct.
If you’re going to call the Red Sox the BoSox, you might as well start calling Boston Beantown. In other words, you’re not a local.
The Red Sox make the Baby Jesus cry.
God works in mysterious ways.
I wonder how the Rockies (I refuse to type “Rox”) could have fallen so out of favor with the Lord.
My personal agenda aside, I thought Colorado was supposed to be a decent team. They’ve looked like top-to-bottom garbage to me – espcially the pitchers. That “Dragon-Slayer” dude was fucking pathetic. What a doughy loser.
Get out the brooms.
If you’ve actually followed the season (and, aside from your pathetic RO it doesn’t seem that you’ve paid much attention to it) you’d realize the Rockies are a decent team that only made it to the playoffs because they got very hot when a lot of other teams in their division and their league were getting very cold.
Streaks aren’t uncommon in baseball, the same 20-25 game streak of success that the Rockies enjoyed at the end of the season could easily have happened to many other ball clubs, but it usually won’t happen at the end of the season to save a team that isn’t going to make the cut, this time it did.
Streaks also end, another reality of baseball.
I read that pagan warriors used to dip their socks in the blood of slain Christians the night before battle, and that this was the inspiration for the Red Sox’s motif. In fact, it’s common knowledge among the inner circle that the BoSox conduct satanic rituals and pray to a giant pentagram before each game, and recite demonic incantations. Some of their players are even said to have sinister, evil powers. They are also sponsored by the Freemasons, and are said to have ties to the Bilderburg group and the Rothschild family (at least 40 percent of donations to Zionist groups come from the Red Sox organization.) And the bombs that were detonated in the World Trade Center to cause the controlled demolition on 9/11 were all personally signed by the whole BoSox roster.
I knew it. The Red Sox are the new Yankees.
