So or those ready to write the season off.....
Nice work X. We all knew the "sky would fall" at some point in the season. I think no one expected it to be this bad this early.
ReplyDeleteI do think it is rather sporting of us to give the Rays some confidence. DiceBB may have found his calling, batting practice.
Here is a short history of the last 18 months:
ReplyDeleteSox implode, lost o Angels for first time in 20+ years
Yankees win WS
Pats lose first home playoff game in 20 years. Crushed by Baltimore
B's blow 3-0 lead
Celts lose in 7 to Lakers
Sox destroyed by injuries, 2010 season ruined
Pats 14-2, lose to hated Jets. at home
Now:
Sox struggling
Celts have no upside playoff series with another NY team
B's play most hated rival
Yikes!! WEEI must be ready to explode.
The good news is that the first place team(s) are only 6-4. The Sox are only 4.5 games out.
ReplyDeleteThe big problem in the long haul is going to be their pitching. I expect Lester and Buchholz to be good. Beckett looked wayyyy better in his last start. Lackey and Dice-K haven't shown any signs of life, yet.
Their lineup will be fine.
