Curt Schilling expressed the mood of the Nation well on the radio today. If the Sox did make the post-season (which he thought they may not do), they'd be smoked before getting to the pennant anyway. So, what's the point?
Tonight, with an opportunity to pad their Wild Card lead by a full game, the Capo di tutti capi of the bullpen—Bard and Papelbon—coughed up the lead to the most pathetic team in the American League. They are in serious jeopardy of losing 3 of 4 to this awful Baltimore team at home at a time when they desperately need wins. Disgraceful.
