Hmm, I don't feel acrimonious toward the team. I've moved on from The Collapse. 
I think Beckett is a spoiled brat, but I don't
particularly dislike anyone else on the team.

Maybe it's just you guys who are alienated.

I have to say that this is the longest, and ugliest, stretch of baseball 
acrimony I've ever seen between the Red Sox fans and their team.   There was a 
time when we'd curse out the Sox and bitch about them, but back then we figured 
we were losers and didn't deserve any better.  If Lou Gorman didn't know where 
to play Willie Randolph or they traded Jeff Bagwell for a middle reliever, we 
bitched and moved along.

But this team, has managed to alienate the fan base like none I've ever seen, 
and I'm not certain that winning that last game in September would have made a 
difference at this point.
