To say that the Boston Red Sox discovered this weekend that a good team on paper doesn't win a championship is an understatement. The Sox were swept out of The Ballpark in Arlington, TX & outplayed in every category by the Rangers, resulting in 3 losses.
If you are a glass half full kind of person, you may see this as a good thing. How? The Sox now know that no one is going to lay down & give them anything. It shows that superstars can be hot & cold which is why it takes a team effort to win. And most of all, all 3 phases of the game have to come together - pitching, hitting, defense - to win a game.
The Sox have not put it all together yet. They will. And when they do you can expect a long win streak to wash away this opening series in Texas. I'll say it again - there is too much talent on this team not to expect a great season. It just hasn't happened yet.
Keep the faith. Cleveland is up next. No reason we shouldn't take at least 2 out of 3.

Let's hope this is not a repeat of the Maimi Heat. They began their season with a stacked team and fell flat on their face for a while. In the NBA, just about everyone makes the playoffs, so no worries. Not so in MLB.
