We seem happy to just be in the playoffs. We literally backed in and did not win to get in even though we had the chance. Also, 2004 and 2007 are over. We cannot live in the past. Yankees spend almost a half billion dollars to win a championship and what is our counter, Rocco, Penny and Schmoltz, smart. The days of just lining them up and letting them play and we win are over. We need to coach and manage. Something we do not do very well. I literally hate the Yankees! But did you see how they played their came last night? Did you see how they seemed to pull out all stops as if they had to win? Did you see how their manager knew they were off today and did not care if he blew out his bull pen? I really do not care if Lester and/or Beckett gets their feelings hurt. Both should only be planned to go five innings. It is a five game playoff! Last night Tito cold have alternated lefty righty every inning from the sixt on. We can't hit on the road. Keeping the game close was critical, because maybe we could squeak out another run. Bunt, hit and run, double steal something! There is no monster in california. This isn't the middle of the season. Pappi needs to sit on the road. What are all those batters looking at the first and third base coach for if we are not giving them any advice. Even saying all of this, we were in first place at the All Star break and then did what! I apologize for rambling but I am so mad I could spit! I am a huge Red Sox Fan and I believe we all deserve better. If you lose because the other team is better, well that's understood. Still not a good feeling but at least understood. When you lose because the team doesn't show up, that's sad and unacceptable! LET's GO RED SOX! Show some pride, For the Glory!
