Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 4066971, member: 591"] Read this in an article, FWIW. I'm a born and raised Yankee fan that can't get up the interest to watch unless they are deep in the postseason. As others said, it isn't all that exciting to watch baseball on TV, and I have no rooting interest in the Diamondbacks, which passes for local being only 2 hours or so away. There is still a WS expectation mostly because they are (largely) fairly competitive year in and year out. That they never get over the hump, that's the rub, but as someone who followed them in the dead zone that was the later 60's and beyond . . . To the sundry Boston fans, which I never was - yes, the Celtics and Bruins in the day were great, I didn't particularly dislike the Bruins and never followed the NBA, but when I hear those teams discussed on programs like PTI, wow, you had something special. And the Patriots were, likewise, great for an extended run (although I am a Giant fan, so I wasn't rooting). [/QUOTE]
