What happened to the team that swept the Yankees this weekend? Did they spend the off-day Monday celebrating a division win that isn't theirs yet? News flash, Red Sox: The magic number to clinch the AL East is 3, not zero. There is still work to be done and the O's are a team you have to beat. Last night and especially tonight against the O's I saw a complacent team reminiscent of that awful 2011 team that just assumed they were making the playoffs and stopped playing with any sense of purpose. How do you get 15 hits, yet only score 3 runs? And hit into 4 double plays??? And why, John Farrell, is Stephen Drew still in the lineup against lefties?
Red Sox, do you want to shut me up about 2011? Then how about going out and winning 3 games (or more, preferably more to secure home field advantage)? Don't let this chance slip away again! Settling for a wild card playoff game is not making the playoffs in my book. The real playoffs begin with the division series. You've been playing so well this month. Please let these two games be but a small bump in the road and get back to WINNING! You're too close to fall apart now.
