Yes, the Red Sox were picked to win the World Series by everyone and their uncle. A seemingly endless stream of media sports experts are saying they are going to win over 100 games this year. It's all over but the celebrating. Even the Boston Herald has announced that this is the greatest Red Sox team ever (before they even played a single game).
Have we learned nothing from the idiocy known as the Miami Heat?
The Sox were destroyed by the Rangers this weekend. We are 0 and 3 to start the season. Our best pitchers looked pathetic. It was painful. I believe the pitching staff gave up 263527 home runs this weekend. Red Sox fans across New England are in full on panic mode. It's a disaster of biblical proportions (rumor has it the Charles river is running red this morning. I can't confirm that though).
People. Calm down. First of all, the Red Sox are not a lock to win the East, the American League, or the World Series. They should be in the hunt all season, and they have a really good chance to win big... but a lock? No. Calm down. Oh, and Boston Herald? You oughta be ashamed of yourselves. Best Red Sox team ever? Why not just put a banner headline on the front page: Herald Sports Staff are Nitwits. It amounts to the same thing. Calm down.
Fans. It's three games. Calm down. More than that, it's three games against the team that won the American League last year. You didn't expect the Rangers to roll over and die, did you? There are still 159 games left. Calm down.
The Red Sox are going to be fine this year. Accept it.
End of Rant.
