I agree whole heartedly on the missed opportunities. I would like to include the Yankees series as a missed chance, too. Yes they won 3 of 4. But man that sweep very well could have broken the Yankees. The sweep would have been a sludge hammer. Instead they lost that game, the Yankees came to life immediately and we decided the Pirates were a decent team.
You gotta crush the windpipe and the Sox just can’t do it. They don’t have that killer attitude. I’ve been railing for weeks when people keep talking about just winning series. Fuck that. That’s April talk. That’s May talk. When you get to August and you’re in a tough race for playoff spots, series wins aren’t enough. You have to sweep the important series.
This team is ok settling. That’s the attitude from the front office in acquiring talent. That’s the attitude each time they’re content with a series win.
I can’t disagree. I was happy to take 3/4 in the Bronx, especially when it looked like we would be lucky to split after being swept at home by the lowly Orioles. But, I knew not burying the Yankees mentally in the Bronx would give them a little life, then they went on their own 7 game win streak, while we were playing for our lives to not get swept by the Pirates at home.
Hey, what if you all from the bastard let the season play out till the end before sentencing the season as a miss? A four-game-in-season-sweep doesn't mean sh!% compared to a 3-2 ALDS or 2-1 first round playoff... And better have a 88 wins season that results in a WS Championship than a 101 wins seasons that ends in losing the game seven of the WS... SO CALM THE FU*% DOWN and try to be a little positive for a change
Thank you for your response and your position. With respect we do post content that covers both positive and negative outlooks on the team to remain fair and balanced with our content. We feel it is in our best interest to supply our listeners and subscribers with multiple and varying perspectives, which is why we have multiple writers, etc. Thank you for the feedback and go Sox!
You should invite Katie Manganelli (from BOSOX injection) to join the Bastard: she has the same ability to always see the situation from the negative perspective...
