It's Getting Ugly

Watching the Sox game last night two things popped into my head:

1 - The Angels are the best team in baseball. In fact they might be the best team I have seen since at least the 04' Sox and maybe even as far back as the 98' Yankees. They hit, they pitch and they play D. If Mike Scioscia isn't getting Beer and Champagne dumped on him in October I will be shocked. Sorry Cubs fans.

2 - The Red Sox are done!

If any Sox fan thinks that they will be playing deep into October than they are kidding themselves.

The pitching is in trouble, Papi isn't the same and there is always Manny. Speaking of Manny, if he gets traded to the Marlins won't it be great that he will play in a stadium that was once played in by The Marks Brothers. I will be here all week folks, don't forget to tip your waitress.

Today is going to decide the rest of the Red Sox season. If they keep Manny they might be able to make it to the playoffs. But with the distractions that will come with him as well as the fact that Yankees are rolling right now I don't see them making it. If they trade him they are pretty much conceding the season. As good as Jason Bay might be, he's not Manny! He can't make up for the fact that David Ortiz doesn't look right. He can't make up for the fact that every week there are 2 or 3 Sox players that go into a 1 for 20 slump. I hate saying it but last night pretty much put the nail in the Sox coffin.

Hey don't fret Bostonians the Pats are in camp...
