I'm glad the curse has been lifted on the Boston Red Sox. Now they can get started working on removing the curse from the rest of the city. Of course I'm joking. Just because a city sucks doesn't mean it's actually cursed. But consider the following:
1) Whatever they call the subway over there can be going inbound in two different directions. That is stupid. New York didn't put downtown in the middle of Manhattan, so you always know the direction your train is running in, uptown or downtown.
2) Ben Affleck is from there.
3) New York is overflowing with people who loudly proclaim how incredible Boston is, yet a nanosecond after they had graduated high school or college they loaded up the suitcase with their Patroits jersey and got the hell out of that town to come to New York.
So basically, if you moved away from Boston at your earliest opportunity, you have no right to talk about how great it is. Move the fuck back there if it's so great. Hey, I grew up in Detroit and love the city and the teams, but I'll be the first to admit that it's an unliveable shithole, and that I have no intention of ever moving back there (unless that internship comes through as Ted Nugent's personal assistant). Boston is the white man's Detroit.
