I'm so sick of the Red Sox

For some reason they're still talking about Derek Lowe wearing a Red Sox jersey during the Sox ring ceremony during the Dodgers game on ESPN.

If the Pirates win the World Series this year and Kip Wells signs with another team in the offseason, then comes back for a ring ceremony at PNC Park next year in a Pirates uniform, NO ONE WILL CARE. Do you know why no one will care? Well, the ring ceremony won't be nationally televised for one, because by the next April, NO ONE CARES WHO WON THE LAST WORLD SERIES. Yes, the Red Sox won last October, and we were all happy for them and their fans, LAST OCTOBER. To this point in the season there have been six Pirates games on TV and (at least) four Red Sox games (that I've noticed) on TV... IN PITTSBURGH. Note to ESPN: WE ARE SICK OF THE YANKEES AND THE RED SOX. PLEASE STOP SHOWING THEM ON MY TV UNTIL OCTOBER. THERE ARE 28 OTHER MLB TEAMS AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MOST OF THEM AT SOME POINT IN THE YEAR. Thank you.
