With us losing or splitting series after series against teams like the Guardians, Mariners, Jays, , we have no chance. I love my Sox as much as the next guy, but being realistic, I know out playoff chances are slim to nil.
If we were to somehow get in, we'd be eliminated very quickly. The problem with this, is the FO will see it as a successful season, and do nothing this offseason. We need to miss the playoffs again to see change.
