So have you given up hope?
If you're a Red Sox fan, today is an official day of mourning.
But you've got to get back up, brush yourself off and immediately get back to work.
Do you think the season is over?
While it never looks good to be back 6 1/2 games in the American League East -- to the archrival New York Yankees no less -- don't for one second think the season is over.
Boston can get hot at any time, especially with a lineup that features Victor Martinez, Kevin Youkilis, Dustin Pedroia, Jacoby Ellsbury and Jason Bay (he needs to start hitting again), and everyone knows it.
Big deal. The Yankees just swept the four-game series in the Bronx. It's only August and there's more than a month of baseball left. The Sox have the pitching to get right back in the race, but the offense needs to start hitting, and some clutch hits are going to be necessary.
Keep the faith, Nation.
There's a lot of baseball left to be played -- 52 more and six against the Yanks. Plus, you don't actually think that the Red Sox will be ice cold for the rest of the year and Yankees will stay hot for that long do you?
So Red Sox Nation, do you think your hometown team is cooked or do they have a chance to win the East or at least get that Wild Card berth?
This weekend was just like 2006 when the Yankees took 5 in a row at Fenway in early August. I just don't see the Sox getting back in it. Not enough offense and after Beckett and Lester there is a big drop in the rotation.
ReplyDeleteFocus on the WC. That's their best hope to make the postseason
I am not taking the bait from a Yankee-fan like Chad. Last weekend was a ripper.
ReplyDeleteFan or not, the AL East hasn't been decided and won't for a long time. So what do you think Jim?
