That would be an interesting stat to put up....on the Phillies message board. I find it interesting that someone who claims to hate hearing Red Sox fans whine has the most posts on the Red Sox message board. I think you envy us, leifdawg. There currently is no greater fan base in all of sports than Red Sox Nation and you know it. You want proof? We currently have 4 home fields. Watch the Sox play an away game against any other AL East opponent other than the Yankees and the majority of fans in attendence are Sox fans.

I think leif's point is that if you are a diehard red sox fan, chances are you are from the boston area. And you would most likely be a patriots fan. And the Patsies have won 2 super bowls in the last 3 years. So be happy you have any championships to call your own.... whereas philly hasnt had anything since 1983.
That's where the whiny part comes in. Sure the sox haven't won anything in a century.. but you got other shit to celebrate. We have what? Fucking Rocky III?Support Sportscolumn.com! Tell a friend!

The comments about the whiny fans weren't necessarily directed at you but rather the media outpouring of support for the sox.
Oh and if you want to talk about filling up opponents stadiums why don't you check out last seasons' Eagles games; specifically those against Miami(20,000+ eagles fans in attendence) and against the Falcons. Also how many people get 25,000+ fans come out and watch them practice? Yes, we're talkin' bout practice.Whatcha Gonna Do Brother, When the Eagles run wild on you?

Leifdawg, regardless of who it's directed towards it was completely off-topic. This thread WAS about trades. I don't care about the Phillies and I care even less about the Eagles,which is why I don't read the Phillies or Eagles boards, much less post in them. If you want to complain about the media coverage of the Sox, I'm sure that would make a fine topic on it's own.

I'm with you Buckminster. He needs to make his own topic. But on this topic I am finally happy with the trade. Nomar is doing much better where he is now, sadly, but Cabrera and Meinke..... are doing a great job in filling in those shoes. Not so much on offense, although Cabrera's having a seemingly good past few weeks, but they are terrific on defense. Meinke.... especially. (I can't spell his name). But I'm happy for Nomahhhh and I'm glad we are on a 4 game winning streak! GO Sox!
