I agree Bam, this is an adjustment period for Crawford. Things can be ok, if we win four straight against the Blue Jays, or even three, 6-9 would places us above the Jays in the division and 5-10 is not the end of the world. The O's are facing the Yankees and have lost four straight bringing them back down to earth and turning them back into the Orioles we have come to know and love as Sox fans. The issue I want to talk about is Terry Francona.
We he has done in Boston will make him one of the greatest Red Sox mangers of all-time. We have won two championships with him at the helm and I don't think we had any business winning it in 04, but that team was special. It is almost blasphemy as a Sox fan to call out Francona, but this team was simply unprepared for the season. The sox have excelled in management throughout the recent years, and that is a big part of their success. Yet, this season, after eleven games, we have the worst record in baseball, sit at the bottom of the Al east, and as a team have the worst era in baseball. This team was not ready for the 2011 season, there is no other explanation. With a little inspiration we won 2 out of three against the Yankees but have no beat any other team in baseball. The team has no passion. They have no determination to win. Even sox dirt dog Youklis is hitting .182 after a horrible spring. Get the boys ready to go Terry!!
I really think the Sox will turn it around, I just hope that this little fiasco at the beginning of the year doesn't cost a playoff spot by a game and a half in October.
