Poll: Do you have more patience with Sox or Pats currently?

For the better part of two decades, the Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots spearheaded a golden age of sports that will never be matched.

Now, they're the two teams occupying the bottom half of the four-team city power rankings. Boston is a Celtics and Bruins town at the moment. That's because those are the two teams actively doing their best to compete for championships.

The B's sold out last year and came up short. But in Boston, there's something to be said for selling out. It shows you care. Meanwhile, Brad Stevens has bolstered the Celtics into a title-favorite squad once again.

The Red Sox have spent the last four years crying poverty despite being one of the sport's biggest brands. While Chaim Bloom spent four seasons retooling the minor league system, the results at the major league level suffered to the point it cost Bloom his job,

Which team is coming closer to emptying its goodwill reserves?
