stretchstretch Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I'm about out of analogies, superlatives, sarcasm, etc on this team and season, just too exhausting riding their roller coaster. When it's not your year, one needs to know when to cut their losses, so that's what I have to do now. May and June were pretty nice once I tuned out of the Sox and had literally lost count of how many games back they were. I could put my energy in some productive matters, and not spend nights in anxiety or days replaying what went wrong, just moved on. Â Is it possible they can rebound, well yes, anything is possible, but it's certainly not worth the price of admission at this point. Tonight's game for me spoke more volumes than any past this season. It affirmed, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that we are unable to win past the halfway mark in a game, so if by some absolute miracle half of MN goes on the DL and we slither into the playoffs, it would be a waste of a spot since we'd be massacred by the AL East opponent. It would be better, and it pains me to say this, have 3 teams from the AL East in the playoffs, at least fans would get to see teams fight to win games, and not have their manager pitch to an unconscious hitter who single handedly brought his team back, when first base is wide open with men on second and third. I still hope they make it but can't spend the remainder of this month and September agonizing in vain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â Our relief corps just wants to make sure everyone of them has had the chance to blow the game by giving up the bomb or a two out hit in the oppositions last at bat.
