I hope that before then there is a salary cap and a salary floor in MLB.

The point of consensus is the insanely long title droughts, but I understand Sox fans wanting no part of that

It's because we barely remember what it was like. It's like "Remember when Vanilla Ice was cool? No. It is too far in the past".

Like I said I get that one.

Although sometimes I think BOS fans are still bothered by it

Can you also understand why Sox fans laugh at Cubs fans who bring this up?

For separate reasons. One side will be pissed for not accepting a team-friendly contract the other will for his ability to sell a piece of junk for $6.5 million.

I suspect its nervous contrived laughter.

The drought happened. Its over and that's terrific for Sox fans. It still happened.

That was only a pennant

Expos won that fake series 4-2 (Thomas pulled groin in game 3 doomed Sox)

Glad we agree.

The title drought is still associated with BOS. At least its referenced. Not sure about White Sox. They dont get the national over coverage

What can you do? Hypothetical playoffs are a crapshoot.
