I have never felt more compromised, as a Red Sox fan, as I do right now. I made all kinds of excuses for losing 2 games to the Evil Empire, I made all kinds excuses for the loss in Toronto last night. But, there is no justification that will ever make sense out of tonight's brutal loss. You didn't just lose the game. The Red Sox organization lost a tiny chunk of my respect.
I've said it before, but it's worth saying again. This is not Eric Gagne's town. All members of Red Sox management need to accept and understand that. I don't care what he did in Texas. I don't care what he did in LA. You have put the ball into his hands, yet again, and he blew it, yet again. He let the team down, he let the fans down - and you let it happen. Tito...Theo...who, ultimately, put Gagne on the mound tonight - and more importantly - what were you thinking? Did you not notice that the Yankees were beating the Orioles 12 to NOTHING? Did that not make you think that perhaps you should be conservative with your pitching decisions tonight? Of all nights? They're all important, I know....but, we haven't been 2.5 games back since APRIL! At this rate, there will be no October.
Personally...I don't want to ever see Gagne in a Red Sox uniform again.
What do I know? Well - I know that if you guys want to be playing golf in 2 weeks, then just keep doing what you're doing.
Disgusted,
Ann, the Red Sox Fan
