1918 To Be Replaced By 2004
No longer can Yankees fans chant, "1918" when Red Sox fans chant, "Yankees suck." Nope. Until the Yankees vanquish their own ghost, Red Sox fans will chant, "twenty oh four" while the best Yankees fans will be able to muster is, "Red Sox suck."
Congratulations, Boston, you earned it. I do also look forward to speaking to my friend Ari today. A lifelong Red Sox fan, he refused to believe the Red Sox would ever win a World Series and wasn't sure what he'd do if they did win. Now he finds out.
