I turned 16 the day after the fiasco known as Game 6 occurred.

That birthday sucked.

I attended game 5 at Fenway...left the game feeling great, that feeling disappeared 48 hours later.

But its nothing but a blip now.

Oh come on. You guys are just perpetuating an injustice. The least you could do is complement them with Calvin Schiraldi and Bob Stanley jerseys.

hey i didn't say i had one... even though i used to tell the red sox fans i went to college with that i would get one...

This is pretty interesting!

yes... in fact, he should refer to the team as "mine"

i have no problem with anyone involved in the day to day operations of the team using the "we/us" when refering to the team... coaches, managers, trainers, gm's, managers, etc.

fans who think they're part of the team is very robert deniroish.

Absolutely, and like Headache said, "mine" is even in order.

Cubes can do whatever the hell he wants. Except Benefactor 2. Let's not do that.

Okay seriously, my female friends have never once shamed someone for using "Us" or "We". This might be a guy thing, I don't know. lol

During the Mavs game yesterday, my roommate was we-ing up a storm and I came to a conclusion that can easily be summed up in the following analogy.

Calling the Mavericks "we" is like calling Dirk Nowitzki "I".
