No comfort

  • It was a loss, plain and simple, so anyone who feels good about the come back, I think is ridicoulous. It was a great come back, it was fun to watch, but it was a LOSS and you gain no ground from it. "Oh, but look at the way they battled back, this says good things about this team." Like what? That we can come up just short? Woopeefrikindo!

    Anyone feel good about almost winning it all in 86?

    The most recent six games with New York proved one thing only, that this team isn't going anywhere as it's currently composed. We're far enough into the season to safely say that Lowe sucks outside of fenway, and with Pedro on the shelf, our current Ace is Wakefield. I love Wakes, but he isn't an Ace by any stretch of the word. We're in trouble, big trouble, and now that we've jump started the Y-----s we can watch another season crumble away.

    Anyone notice that we're only one game above .500 for the month of May? The only reason we're in 1st is because the Y-----s have tanked, not from great play from the Sox, and the schedule only gets more difficult. The interleague schedule that looks nice and cushy is just a mirage, everyone knows the Sox track record in interleague play.

    You guys out there that visit all the time are probably good and sick of my banter this year, my morass of negativity, but I can't help it, I'm not at all excited about this time at this point. I think the much improved offense is throwing a VERY thick cloud of dust over some huge problems this team has. As much as they've made big come backs and won games, they've made about as many and still fell short, but all anyone remembers is the come back, the 'almost'.

    A loss is a loss, and I don't see how you can come away from one with a smile or a 'good feeling'.

    Well... now that I've probably pissed off 95% of the regular visitors, I'll shut up now and stew until tomorrow when the Sox open up a three game set with the 'not a push over anymore' Toronto Blue Jays. Wakes, Fossum, and Burkett against the best offense in the league, get your hard hats ready.
