The management can downplay a 2-10 start. The players can downplay a 2-10 start. The opposition can downplay a 2-10 start. Sox have the worst record in baseball.
And the fans are sick of it. The "boo birds" were out in full force last night & rightly so. The fans had to sit through a freezing game which saw the Red Sox climb back from a 7-3 deficit & score 3 in the 8th to make it 7-6. Hope, right? I'm thinking a walk-off win in the 9th is just what the doctor ordered.
But the top of the order goes down 1-2-3 in the 9th, not so much as a ball out of the infield. Another loss to start the 4-game series against Toronto. John Kerrigan gets his first win against his old team.
Isn't it time for a "get off your butt" speech from Theo to the players & coaches. As far as the fans are concerned, it is. Half the month of April is gone. If the Sox win every game over the last 2 weeks of the month, the best their record can be is 16-10 due to the rain out. No signs that a long winning streak is coming anytime soon.
April is creating a big hole. The question is how big will the hole be by month end.
