Oh. My. God.
The Sox are taking a serious pounding. This is ugly. No, it's beyond ugly. This is fugly.
How the heck does this happen? A few days ago they took the first game on the road in that horrible dome in St. Petersburg. Then they came within a whisker of taking the second and going up 2-0. Even coming home at 1-1 looked really good, particularly with Jon Lester on the mound for Game 3.
Then they actually played the games at Fenway. Oy.
Will somebody please tell me where the real Boston Red Sox are and who replaced them over the weekend with these mushy vegetarian meatballs? Who are these people? They can't pitch, they can't hit, they can't manage. They're utterly lifeless. How is this the same team that just last week beat up on the best team in the American League (against whom they went 1-8 in the regular season, I might add)?
I know, they came back from down 3-1 last year in the ALCS and, of course, there was The Miracle of 2004. All hope is not lost. But the hope cupboard is not exactly overflowing right now. We're going to have to dump out the last box to find even a few crumbs of it.
Ugh.

There has been no joy at Chez Chili these last few days. I'm not a big baseball fan (I'm more of a football gal), so it's not bothering me that much, but it's kind of gutting Mr. Chili. I keep reminding him; we're NEW ENGLAND sports fans. We're genetically programmed to handle this kind of disappointment....
They don't do well with change. Without Lowell playing and having already reworked themselves when Manny took off they are done. Their ability to change is sapped.
My fingers are crossed but my heart is in my throat.
