Wow, all this after losing 2 games? Im pretty sure worst things have happened. Remember when we played .500 ball for half a season? that was pretty bad, losing every otehr night, how did that result? In a World f***ing Series Championship. We also got swept by the Yankees in mid-04 to go 9.5 games down, and what happened after that? We went streakin crazy and came back to 2 games by the end of teh season.
As for a700's "Anti-FO" rants, I think your taking it a little to far. You say youve been critical of this FO since day 1, and yet we've won a championship, and been to the playoffs every year this FO has been here. The only complaint I ahve of this brass is that they cannot seem to build a reliable bullpen the past 2 years, and that can even be argued against, in 03 and 04, we had tremendous bullpens with Foulke, Williamson, and Timlin playing big factors, and I still think underneath it all we have a decent one as we speak. Also, your really giving Theo the short end of teh stick, yes Duke brought in Tek, Lowe, Manny, Pedro and Damon, but Theo has brought in Big Papi, Schilling, Papelbon, OCab, Beckett, and many otehrs who could prove to be a big factor in later years.
Is 2004 really that long ago?
