I think part of his success is how he matches up, in some ways, with the manufactured narrative of a lot of people who hate Boston sports. I mean, how many people read him just to bitch about him?
Red Sox fans, like anyone in the world, can be overly optimistic or depressingly pessimistic. Simmons can actually be both, its part of his gimmick.
It is true though that thinking everything was going to turn out well is not a traditional criticism of Boston sports fans that I'm used to. Fortunately, I know enough of them that are still miserable fucks about everything. (I believe our own lovable DT gave up on the Red Sox during LAST season).
