After just 1 loss some of th Rays’ fans were panicing. Now that they have lost 4 out of 5 games, and their lead is merely 2 games (with the Red Sox still to play tonight), they must be lining up to jump off the bridge.
I heard some talk radio guys whining about Red Sox fans this week. That we are now acting even more entitled than the Yankees’ fans. I didn’t hear the context. I suppose success does create expectaions. When your team has never had a winning season before … you can be a bit defensive and envious.
Very excited that both Beckett and Lowell played well in their first games back from the DL. The Red Sox have adjusted well to the recent rash of injuries. And there have been plenty. They didn’t give up, but have continued to play well. Good news as well that they seem to have cured their road issues from earlier in the season. Dustin Pedroia has been quite impressive, showing that size does not matter when it comes to playing baseball. He’s been the everyday player to lead the team everyday. You can’t say enough about how important he has become to this squad.
Not only are the Sox closing in on the Rays, but the Angels as well. It would be great to have home field advantage throughout the playoffs. This should make for an exciting 3+ weeks as we move to the end of the regular season.
Update: The Sox failed to capitalize. But the Rays have given them another chance on Sunday- so far the Sox are up 2-0 midway through the game.
