Oh Gollllllly, geez. The Sox go about 11 and 1, then lose maybe 5 of 8 to have a 13 and 7 record in the past 20 games (just by memory) and you call that backing into the play-offs. Let's be realistic here. Do you expect an .850 September or something?

Haven't we learned yet that there is no such thing as a "head of steam" in baseball? It just takes one good pitcher to blow that steam away.

Does Francona think it is a good idea to send the Yankees into the post-season with a head of steam? We took the first 8 games from the Yankees this season and now we are on the verge of allowing them to tie the season series. We've lost 8 of the last 9 games to these guys. They have owned us in the second half. And today, the brooms will be out as the Yanks prepare to win their 100th game of the season and clinch the division. Take heart though, we've got Paul Byrd on the hill.

It is so frustrating watching Chris Woodward and Brian Anderson bumble their way through life when a playoff spot has not yet been clinched, and when a sweep this weekend gives the Yankees the division. Woodward's ridiculous error in the eighth today, which led to two critical Yankee runs, was painful to watch. Why the hell is he on the field? I mean, we all know the bad guys are going to win the AL East but wouldn't you think the Sox would manage and play this weekend as if avoiding having to watch them dance all over the field mattered? For crying out loud, there's seven games with Toronto and Cleveland this week to play the Pawtucket kiddie corps. OK. Rant over. -- Matt -- Author of "Leading After a Layoff: Reignite Your Team's Productivity in Just 12 Weeks" www.leadingafteralayoff.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Red Sox Citizens" group.
