Patriots = 3 Superbowls since 2001
Red Sox = World Series winners in 04 and 07
Celtics = 2008 NBA Champs
Is it possible to win too much?
With the Red Sox in the playoffs again this year, there has recently been some discussion about whether people are getting sick of Boston for being so successful with its national sports teams.
The Sun Chronicle recently had an article in the sports section about how people are sick of hearing about Red Sox Nation. There is a particular NHS teacher (who will remain nameless) who feels that the Red Sox have won enough and its time for another team to win the World Series.
Looking at the situation from a national perspective, its easier to see how other cities could start to despise Boston at this point. After all, how badly did we root against the Yankees when they were in the midst of 4 World Series titles in 6 seasons?
How do you feel? Have we become too successful here in Boston? Would you prefer the Tampa Bay Rays or L.A. Dodgers win the world series this year?
Or is a particular NHS teacher out of his mind?

Too much success? Is there such a thing in sports? If the Red Sox want to have another championship year then they need to get rid of Pesky. He was the bench coach forever and they never won. In 2004 MLB made him get out of the dugout and look what happened. Victory! I was at the game Monday and they announced that he was back in the dugout with the team and we lost by a landskide, then again last night. Get rid of Pesky and we will win again.
So, i may not know who this Pesky person is but I do that I want all of our teams to win. You can never have too much success. You just need to remember to be modest about it.
for the record, pesky wasn't in the dugout last night, and we still lacked success, its our offense that needs work
I dont think Boston has had too much success! Boston sports teams definitly deserve to win and they work hard for their wins! But i do think Boston sports fans arent realizing how unlikely it is that all these teams keep winning. We are all just kind of getting used to Boston winning everything.
