The Red Sox playoff chances mathematically passed away last night after a long battle with indifference.

The team will be publicly waked at Fenway Park Funeral Home. Calling hours are Tuesday-Saturday from 7:05pm till somewhere between 10:00-10:30. A funeral service will be held Sunday at 2:05pm, after which the team will be buried along with all the goodwill built up from the 2004 Worlds Series victory.

In lieu of flowers, ownership asks that you make financial contributions directly to the Boston Red Sox, c/o “The Sucker Fund‿, Yawkey Way, Boston, MA. You can also contribute by paying for your overpriced season tickets well in advance to allow the Sox to collect millions in interest payments or by ponying up ridiculous sums of cash for the right to wear pink hats and the uniforms of players who will no longer be around since they’re not going to pay market rates to keep them.

Feel free to post your remembrances of the 2006 Boston Red Sox on this message board!
