How've we done against the Yankees the last five or so times we've played them? The Yankees are back in this division race because the Sox didn't bury them when they had the chance and they've had five or six chances. Even when they weren't playing the Yankees, I'm pretty sure there was a stretch where the Yankees had lost four or five straight and the Red Sox dropped games they should've been winning as opposed to tacking on to their lead. It's the absolute truth... if you don't go for the throat, and if you're content with what you have when a roster that good is struggling and you don't have that killer instinct to bury them while you can then you don't deserve to win the division when they close in you get swept by the Blue Jays. It's that simple. I'm not saying the sky is falling, I'm not panicking that the season is over... I love our chances to win it all, I really do, but I'm echoing now what I said at the time, you have to bury the Yankees when you have the chance.
