ignoring the fact that an equally shocking collapse happened in the National League. Is it more “important” because it happened in Boston. Because that’s sure as shit what it sounds like. Self-important pricks.

Not only that, but if I recall Troy Aikman and Joe Buck broadcasted every Red Sox game down the stretch.

/Church’s? Say whhhattt? Popeyes, son.

Raising Cane’s is a great alternative if you just want strips.

Sox suck again. Headed for another 50 years World Series drought.

Your logic is impeccable.

My point is that the myopic Boston writers and their “national” media counterparts are already waxing poetic for their “historic” collapse, ignoring the fact that an equally shocking collapse happened in the National League. Is it more “important” because it happened in Boston. Because that’s sure as shit what it sounds like. Self-important pricks.

I really like that pop vs soda map. I wonder how the entire east coast of Wisconsin says “soda” but you set foot in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and everyone says “pop.” And why is the St. Louis/Kansas City area “soda”? Did some east coaster move there and start the trend?

And what the hell is “other”?

The key to avoiding the Pop-Soda war is not to drink that crap you unhealthy, fast food eating slobs.

I don’t consume either, especially soda because my 6 year old told me that drinking diet soda causes cancer. A 16oz glass of club soda with lime and 2 teaspoons of blue agave is as far as I go.

The neutron is definitely the most underated particle of the atom.

Eh. Pick a side. People never like neutrality. Right, Switzerland?

People that actually care if it should be called “Pop” or “Soda” should be punched in the face.
