I'm just incredibly surprised with how easily you are taking this. Boston has always been a bottom line, win or be villified all winter kind of city. It seemed like the players played without the resiliency they showed last year, not the same drive. They did their job, got the Series there. And you guys seem to be cool with that. It's just weird to me. And that kind of atmosphere is not the kind that becomes a dynasty.
I'm not saying you should go ape s*** over the team, but you are rationalizing it awfully quick. Boston doesn't win the World Series last year, and the attitude is different is all I'm saying. And you can't rationalize this year's failure with the success of the year before. You don't play up to your potential like that, and you don't win multiple championships like that. It seems to be that's what the players did this year, and as a fan that would piss me off.
