A Red Sox loss and a Yankee win last night put the FRS into their usual American League Eastern Division spot, 2nd place. The past couple of years that was still OK because they had a good enough record to get into the playoffs via the Wildcard route. This year that may not be the case because the Cleavland Indians have a better record than the Red Sox and if the season ended today the BoSox players could break out the fishing gear.
It is not over by a long shot (I tell myself), there are still 10 games to play in the season and ten games ago the Red Sox were in 1st place by 4 games. A turn around is possible, we only trail the Yanks by a 1/2 game and Cleavland’s hold on the Wildcard is only 1 game…
But the long-time Boston fan in me is absolutely positive we are out of the playoffs now though. A co-worker brought me in his copy of the DVD Fever Pitch and I figured what better way to drown my sorrows than to watch a romantic comedy movie that uses the Red Sox’s glory year as a backdrop. Well, it was a nice thought, but I left the movie on my desk…
The FRS have an night off, so their is no game on the radio to listen to, so I guess I will have to make do with listening to the Baltimore broadcast of the Orioles-Yankees game and rooting for the birds.
