Post ALCS blues

It all had to end sometime. The Red Sox were eliminated by the Rays in 7 games. It was pretty tough to watch. The offense struggled all series and honestly, I was impressed that the Sox were able to force a game 7. The Rays pretty much had their number all year. What was most shocking to me living within plain view of Fenway Park was the blase feeling from most fans about the whole series. Sure, there are a fair number of pink-hatters around these parts but even casual fans seemed to be taking the whole situation for granted. For me, watching the game in Boston BeerWorks on Sunday night was one of the toughest games to watch. It just made me wish that the season had ended those two games earlier. I likened it to the run the Bruins went on against the Habs in March. The Bruins miraculously forced a game 7 and then shat the bed. Even though this city is known as "title town" with the Celtics winning it all this summer and the Sox and Pats combining for 5 titles this decade. Oh well, there's always next year for the Sox but for now go Bruins!
