Final Score
Red Sox 3
Angels 4
Enjoying the show?
This is what you get when you play for the future...a box score with names that would make minor league fans proud, particularly under the pitching section. We've kind of been spoiled around these parts with the 3-consecutive playoff appearances. So the feeling of playing out the string and watching a team sink is a bit more jolting than it used to be in the past.
Personally, I find it revolting that a team that led it's division for so long has gotten to this point. Maybe you're fine with it, but I'm not and never will be! I'm a Red Sox fan...if I want to see this, I'll root for the Royals or Pirates.
So here's what I want to know...now that the reality is setting in to even the most optimistic of you out there (Rick, T2, Legend Killer, Greek Thunder), how do YOU feel? Is the "promise" of the future enough to ease the embarrassment of losing 5-in a row at home to the Yankees and the carnage that's sure to follow? Was it worth the 4 months you invested in this team with your heart and with your wallet?
And while we're on the subject...you're welcome! (This is exactly how I told you it would play out, isn't it? You could have saved a lot of heartache if you just listened...LOL!)
Go Bruins! Fire Tito. His laid back attitiude has gotten us nowhere this year. He needs to be more like Toronto's manager Gibbons. At least his players fear him. Tito might be on his way out.
This is tough to watch....
