I try not to be optimistic or pessimistic. I just go day by day. Sometimes I look at another team and say "wow, that team is on a bit of a roll and could be trouble" and boy people don't like that! I think this team is better than it has been since '21. It's still exhibiting some frustrating signs that kind of push down my beliefs that they could have a cinderella run (bad, dumb baseball that is played too often).
I don't know, I just expect more out of the Red Sox than what we've seen lately. This team is good, but I expect a little more out of a contender and a CBO that says "we'll be buyers" and an ownership group that says the goal is to get to the playoffs.
Sam was asked if Breslow had ownership's blessing to be big player's at the deadline and add salary. What happened? It's just all talk from this group and it just has beaten me down this year.
