There is a mental illness plague that has sprouted among the fans of the Boston Red Sox. This can be found in DSM-IV and you can ask your own therapist about it. Being a Red Sox fan makes one somewhat predisposed for therapy. The term is “Knee-Jerk Syndrome” and it will be rampant among those of us whose first project each morning is to skip financial disasters, terrorist actives, various global bloodshed and go directly to the sports section of the paper on any of their preferred (hopefully BSI) baseball sites. In a nut (pun intended) shell is the term represents an immediate emotional response without doing due diligence.
