That's All Folks

Today’s win over the Yankees concludes the 2010 Red Sox series and in a way is the epitome of the “lost season.” The Red Sox won 8-4, Lackey produced a stellar start, the Paw Sox played behind him, Lowrie hit 2 homeruns, and Papelbon threw 28 pitches and gave up 1 run in the ninth. It is fitting that the Sox went out this way; that once again they managed to win and beat the Yankees, once again they reminded us that they still had it in them and if there were one more month in the season they could win it all. This was supposed to be the “dream season”, MLB Network had the Sox winning 100 games and being the team to beat the Yankees. After the first game it seemed that way, heck, after the first half it seemed that way, but as with all things in baseball, nothing is certain. Despite what many say this was a good season, they had a great team, lost some players, but grinded it out to the end and never gave up hope. All I can say now is that I can’t wait ‘till April.
