What's worse, having to watch the Red Sox who play really good baseball every day or having to watch the Royals who ummm...don't?
I wouldn't watch a Red Sox game to save my life (unless they were playing the Nationals).
Which bring up a point to be made. How many people absolutely HATE the Royals, or the Pirates, or the Devil Rays? Not many. How many people absolutely HATE the Red Sox, or the Yankees, or the Mets? A ton. So I guess it's a good thing when people hate your team.
