October 12, 20214 yr It didn’t end the way we wanted but considering how much adversity this group faced - we all enjoyed a lot of great moments this season. GO SOX forever.
October 12, 20214 yr How the fuck was this team more exciting with the likes of Yermin, Nick Williams, Jake Lamb, Goodwin, and Hamilton getting steady at bats.

October 12, 20214 yr This season gave us the Rodon no-no, the Field of Dreams walk off, a Division Championship, and the amazing ALDS Game 3. There are many more awesome moments I'm probably missing. The Sox will be back stronger next year. For now, I shift to college football mode. Go Hawkeyes.
October 12, 20214 yr As someone who was a toddler in 2005 and 2008, this is by far the most emotionally invested I've ever gotten in a Sox season. Last year just wasn't at this level. It was largely very rewarding, but the crash at the end hurts much more.
October 12, 20214 yr Author Here’s one for Rodon too who gave us all he had today. Good on ya bulldog.
October 12, 20214 yr It was a fun season, no doubt. It just sucks to have such high expectations go unrealized.

Sorry bro.
October 12, 20214 yr Author Also worth mentioning that this year we saw our team in the playoffs for consecutive years for the first time… let’s keep that trend going for the entirety of this window.
October 12, 20214 yr Sox won the division easily then lost to the team that’s been in the ALCS for 5 years straight. They’re also the perfect counter to the Sox - they kill fastballs and don’t make mistakes. Could never build momentum except in game 3. Going to enjoy this rivalry. Let’s hope we get our 08 blackout game moment against them next postseason.

October 12, 20214 yr Division championship. That is cool I'll take it. 93 wins is great but we could've been better. It's a missed opportunity with this talented roster we've put together. I'm sad/mad more than positive right now.

GO SOX forever. I'm with ya, can't agree with all the Sox fans down on this team, we're a few pieces away with great young talent...some folks acting as if the Sox just lost 100 games this season, lol. This is the beginning of our window, there will be better seasons soon...with that said, please retire TLR.

That's the problem, I had low expectations considering the relative inexperience compared to the Astros, cheating or not, they've been here before, this team is getting started.
October 12, 20214 yr Well they won the greatest regular season game ever. This team was indeed so goddam fun though when Yermin and Hamilton were regularly in the lineuo.

It’s one thing if the division was competitive but overall yuck.

Dude literally said multiple times he was disappointed. I know this is expecting a lot but we really shouldn’t shit on each other. Oops - guess I just did. Welcome to Soxtalk!
October 12, 20214 yr Some great moments this year, Sheets’ game winner HR against the damn Twins, Billy’s awesome catch with my son and I in the stands in a rainy Minnesota, Rodon’s no no, the Field of Dreams walk off, the frenzied playoff crowds in Gms 3-4, some great stuff that happened in ‘21.
