100% agree. I've never felt this despondent about Sox/baseball. I always found SOMETHING to look forward to. Now, I don't even watch baseball anymore. It's ruined. Bears aren't much better, agreed, but at least I still enjoy watching other NFL games.
There are greater tragedies in the world, no doubt, but my sports life is miserable. Wake me up when Jerry and Virginia are gone. (or the entire McCaskey family, actually)
