I have to admit: watching the Red Sox meltdown has been a real pleasure. As a Yankee fan, it's especially enjoyable (even more so after 2004). It seems that this guilty pleasure is not limited to Yankee fans though:

But the Red Sox losing five straight to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and Kansas City Royals, then following that with two six-game losing streaks, the first including that five-act meltdown against the New York Yankees, the second still going as this is written -- and if I type fast enough the losing streak will still only be six when I finish: It's not a Yankees swan dive but we'll take it around here as the next best thing, the fall of the Evil Empire Mini-Me.

This is fun because, aside from watching your own team win and luxuriating in the schadenfreude of witnessing a Yankees loss, nothing is more fun than watching the Red Sox disintegrate.

Well, except for that part about the Yankees, yeah :)
