It's not but when you're incredibly inconsistent trying to catch up to the Yankees is really hard. Playoffs hopes are still alive. This team gets on any type of hot streak and pitching gets better, watch out.
I have no problem with people being angry at the sox, they have every right to be. I don't expect people to be optimistic when we're playing like a AAA team. This "f*** this team" pessimism is just a little annoying and I want no part of it.
