100 Years of Ineptitude

100 Years of IneptitudeIt's hard to watch Red Sox games these days. It really is. I want them to win as badly as any non-Sox fan, but it's tough to sit through a game against the Yanks, especially one at Fenway, and see all the long faces in the stands saying, "oh, here we go again", in concert. Last night's extra-inning victory was outstanding and a great moment for the team and its fans, but it only delayed the inevitable, another loss to the Yankee machine.

The next thing Red Sox fans have to look forward to is the end of the 2017 season when they can get together and celebrate 100 years of ineptitude.

If they can't beat the Yankees this year with Schilling and Matrinez on the mound, they are never going to beat them. The worst thing for the Sox is that every Yankee win gives them more money and further entrenches them as the best team ever, fair or not.

I definitely feel for. My team (Dodgers) hasn't won shpilkas since 1988 and it's killing me, but at least it was in my lifetime. I would like nothing more than to see a Cubs-Red Sox series some time in the next few years to at least give one of these sorry cities something to celebrate.

While I'm not the biggest baseball fan in the world, I did find myself happy with the news that Boston managed to pull another game out of the series last night. If I were a diehard fan, I'd hate being in a situation where I felt as if losing were "inevitable".

Good grief, I miss the NHL...
