September 14th vs. MFY - Stop Changing my Thread titles

[Gom]

Theres a difference between counting out the team's chances in May (still time to make moves) compared to a depleted team in early September

 

Mid august, you guys fell apart, and still had a great shot at the wild card. Your team packed it in, and you know it. With the exception of Clemens, who has been very ordinary, we didn't make any moves of significance.

 

Let's be honest here.....

 

If the Yankees had a 14.5 game lead on the Red Sox in May....what would you guys think of their chances?

Injured during the 2nd half

Schilling

Wakefield

Wells

Papelbon

Varitek

Manny

Ortiz (missed a week)

Trot Nixon

Alex Gonzalez

 

The rotation had the likes of Jason Johnson, Kevin Jarvis, Julian Tavarez, Devern Hansack, Beckett on a down year. They didnt "pack it in", just about every player started getting injured one way or another. At that point all the Sox could do was fill holes with minor leaguers and whatever was left on the waiver line

Carl Pavano, opening day starter.

 

Enough said.

 

That's not my question...how many of you guys would have given up on the Red Sox's chances if you were 14.5 back in May? I honestly didn't think they had a shot. I hoped they did, but logic said no.

 

So....when I admit that I didn't think my team could do it, you call me fair-weather. When I stick by my team and needle you guys about it, I'm a troll.

 

Conclusion: You're idiots.

What exactly did you expect? A warm hug?
