The Red Sox season is beyond redemption. Does this make it ok for this Red Sox fan to root for them to lose to Toronto tonight?

Along with, of course, hoping Sabbathia continues to be mediocre as he has most of the year.

Aside from winning, there's no greater calling for a Boston sports fan than rooting against the Yankees and/or Lakers

In the state where I attended college, there is an old maxim known as ABC: Anybody But Carolina. (ABD, the maxim on the specific patch of the state that I found myself, does not have the same ring to it but is equally powerful.)

I think ABY covers you.

I am sure whatever team you root against will win.

Hey @sarahzm, wish it HAD been rained out. YUCK! (and besides , we were the first row under the overhand on the ground level..wouldn't have been so bad) But thankls for the heads up!
