I had an exchange on Twitter with a listener that did not go well.

//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js

Instead of fighting, I stood in his shoes and realized the two teams I am rooting for, the Red Sox and the Giants, are the two contenders with the least amount of urgency in baseball.

So @AllenSpeir … please accept my olive branch. I seek peace, not fighting.

But today I asked 2 key questions:

WHY am I still a Red Sox fan?

And what would ever make me a fan of another team.
