It's cool.
That said, it stinks that this is the biggest thing that Sox fans have to cheer for right now.
It is what it is... Can't win every year Bro.
Atleast Sox have been prominent in the last decade. Team will bounce back soon hopefully. Back to the drawing board.
I can always look at 2018s amazing run in the playoffs.
I know you can't win the WS every year, but the Sox performance was disgusting this year. At the very least, I was expecting a 93-95 win season, winning another division or clinching one of the wild card spots.
I never expected their season to be this bad. And now the entire team ended up injured (Sale, Price, Mookie, JD, etc.)
Bopna, I realize the team can't win every year, but it's like gpap said: This year was disgusting. I expect a team that just won the World Series, and returned 99% of its players, to at least make the playoffs the following season. Missing out on the playoffs—and not even coming particularly close to getting there—is super disappointing. Yeah, they've been the most successful franchise over the last 15 years, and that's a great thing, but all of that is in the past. They should've been much better this year and weren't, and I'm not really sure how they can get a lot better in the next couple years, given they're saddled with the Sale, Price, and Eovaldi contracts and we may have already seen the best days for all three of those guys. I'm sure JD will opt in, which I'm fine with, but that leaves less money to pursue free agents to address problem areas, like reliable starting pitching, a closer, or outfielders who can actually pull their weight on offense (lookin' at you, Benny and Bradley). Time will tell; I'm just ready for this lame season to be over.
