The bandwagon test.
June 20, 2008

I just found this on espn.com. This is how they rated the top bandwagon fans. I thought it was funny.

Boston Red Sox, 2004-present

Do you know who El Guapo is?

Here's the test to see whether you and your not-broken-in-yet Red Sox cap are riding the bandwagon: Who is El Guapo? Who is Oil Can? Why is Mookie Wilson evil? Did you see "Fever Pitch" on purpose? If you need to think twice about any of these questions, congratulations, you're an official member of Red Sox Bandwagon Nation. Welcome to the one place in the world where there is no strength in numbers. (Take the tag off that cap, by the way.)

	Why is it that Buckner always gets drug into things? I loved Billy B. I was so glad he got the ovatin he did. Why is it that Buckner got blamed when the Steamer through the WILD pitch that tied it. 06/20/2008 1:45 PM

	David you did not offend me in the least...no apology is necessary...I value everyone's opinion...we can all learn from them. I, as you, will never resort to name calling or disrespecting anyone. I did not mean that you were disrepsecting the fans...and if it came across that way I apologize...that is not how I meant it. 06/20/2008 3:01 PM

Hey Reverend Peace, Hard to take advice from someone who hides behind a private profile, comes in only to preach, and throws in comments that seem never have to do with baseball. This stuff is getting old fast, I don't even enjoy these blogs anymore. YOU WILL NOT TURN RSM INTO TEDDY BEARS-GET OVER IT!! There won't be a group hug and a song after the blog because of your insightful comments, maybe there should, but this is real world, not fantasy. If all you are here for is to help us get along, then good luck. Try your hand at the Middle East, it would probably be less challenging. Not saying you are disrespectful, but someone who has a profile pic and an available profile has a lot more credibility. I just respect somebody more when they don't hide and come to talk baseball. Nuff Ced, I'm taking a break from reading most of these things, especially the comments! GO SOX!!! ...View More

	I do believe Jester has a private profile does he not? 06/20/2008 9:03 PM
But offi..

	actually quite a few of the RSM have private profiles...why do you keep making excuses for bad behavior? 06/20/2008 9:07 PM
But offi..

	I don't have mine private and I already know them. Why do you keep coming back? I don't get it. Seriously, I'm not being sarcastic. What do you get out of this? 06/20/2008 9:30 PM
~Joe Sox..

	I do not like to see Red Sox fans disrespected, ESPECIALLY by other Red Sox Fans...there is no reason for it, there is no excuse for it...it needs to end...it sullies why we are all here...LOVE OF THE RED SOX...why can't everyone understand that? 06/20/2008 10:12 PM
But offi..

First, it was put here to be funny, it's from ESPN. Your defensive posture makes you appear a pinkhat whether you are or not, I don't know and won't accuse you of it. Admirable intentions, but it seems you don't understand humans well. When enough people are added to any venue, opinions will differ, that will feed emotion, some will take action, some will take drastic action, some will hide, some will leave. Wish I lived on your planet! You MUST be a liberal! All worried about why we can't get along. Passion fuels mankind, there will always be some fallout from it, at least here it's only feelings that get hurt. Call me a realist, I've been called worse. You are re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic!! Why not just make a real profile, make some friends, deal with them, and move on? But it seems you aren't here for baseball at all. ...View More

Once again...This is your mother speaking...Don't make me come over there. The whole thing was meant for people to have a chuckle. El Guapo would be disappointed that you were all just not laughing about the original post! And the comment about the weight requirement was priceless. (I am glad they don't have a weight requirement for membership on Sawxheads! El Guapo, Bartolo and I are "homies" in THAT department! LOL) So have a good laugh, stop taking things so seriously, and ENJOY GOOD BASEBALL!!! ...View More
