Tough day here in Red Sox Nation. I think just about everybody had the impression that this year’s team didn’t have what it was going to take, but most of us were hoping for more than this and a rematch with the Yankees in the ALCS would have been fun.
I am looking forward to having more time on my hands to work on some exciting new Mockery enhancements. The Celtics look great this year, and I’m going to enjoy following them. Nevertheless, it’s hard not to be a little melancholy after the long, tough baseball season just ends with a thud.
For what it’s worth, I’ve been saying that the Sox need to either make Papelbon a starter or trade him while he has peak value. Daniel Bard is my favorite player to watch right now and I’m confident that if he had been the closer we’d be getting ready for tomorrow night’s game. Maybe this will be the push that the front office needs.
