I'm going to do my best to try to annunciate and make any of this make sense to you readers out there....I can't f%*#$^*^ believe it.....am i dreaming? Did I die and this is purgatory? How did the Boston Red Sox, who were the best team for 4 1/2 months of the season and were unquestionably headed to the postseason without Dice-K, Buchholz, and J.D. Drew for most of the season manage to blow the biggest wild card lead in major league history? Some say it was poor pitching, some say inconsistent hitting, a lower talented minor system, poor coaching and staff, a GM inability at the deadline, not winning games against sub .500 teams and even just bad luck.
What is bad luck? When something doesn't go your way? Sure. Does that explain 6 wins in the month of September? No way. I was at the last Sox-Rays game this season in Boston and quite frankly this was a team that had already thrown in the towel(and that was Sept. 16). 0 energy and the crowd was dead. People were more concern about the Patsies game that day then staying hoping for a famous rally in the Fens. For fleeting moments, I saw RSN unlearn everything from 2004. The impossible becoming possible when we believed. Like a fool, I did that up until today, wearing all my Sox stuff with gusto feeling a turn-around was imminent especially after Ellsbury game winner Sunday night. Then tonight happened....
Tomorrow morning, I will wake up, put my Buchholz shirt on with my Red Sox fitted hat, no pep in my step and a tear down my face knowing my postseason, my passion, my team will go down to a sub .500 team with Erik Bedard inflicting the final wound...
Maybe next season, maybe some clarity or some answers. And hopefully not another Yankees WS, my heart can't handle that.
