    This is exactly like the Bruins fold show vs. the Flyers ... it'll be fun if the Sox can pull the same same trick the year after.

    ... and then all those who posts the choke photos and have such glee in a Boston collapse, don't say a thing, right?

    Pretty sure I said congrats for the Bruins beatdown of the Flyers this year. But come on. This is a colossal choke. this team was supposed to be one of the all time great teams, and they missed the playoffs by blowing a NINE game lead in SEPTEMBER.

    At least we're not Jays fans. Hows 4th place?

    It probably feels about the same as 3rd place... except no thoughts of suicide.

    It sucks, no doubt, but geez, it's not like they were going to do much damage in the playoffs the way they were palying, with Youk out for the season.

    Let's not forget, the Rays went 23 - 8 in the last month ... good on them.

    I'm just glad I was in Canada the last 2 weeks while most of this was going on.

    ... and that Papelbon should be gone next year ... no more of my Pap-smears. :lol:

    Its nights like this that make me appreciate 04 so much.

    I'm done being angry. Time to move on to Pats/Raiders this Sunday and the Bruins season starting soon.

    weren't they the greatest team ever assembled? a "dream team" of sorts with 6 starting pitchers, tons of hitting, and a strong relief corps...

    He should have plenty of time to follow PJ on the 2012 tour.
    Should be the first one canned....$142 million to Crawford and $82.5 million to Lackey.

    Crawford should have caught that ball, they'd have probably lost in extra innings, but he played that thing like Timmy Lupus, except Lupus made the catch....and we're stuck with him for 6 more years? And he gets a $5.5million raise next season?? Worst free agent signing in baseball history by a mile, makes what Carl Pavano gave the Yanks look like tremendous return on investment.

    Step back from that bridge and pop in your 2004 & 2007 DVD's. That signing might not be that bad in the long run - maybe he just had a bad year. But yeah, he probably should've caught that ball.

    I'm not near a bridge, I've seen it all before, not shocked, just disappointed.
    I guarantee you in 2017 we'll look back on it as the most horrendous signing ever, unless Theo spends $200 million to bring Manny Ramirez out of steroid jail to play left for the Cubs next year.

    Its obvious while watching Crawford he's in over his head...worse than Renteria in terms of wilting under the spotlight of a big market.

    Do NOT underestimate the Tampa Bay Rays....this is a solid team that will give the other clubs in the playoffs fits. I couldn't stay up to watch the rest of the games last night....I had to get up at 5am this morning but I wished I was able to watch just like I watched the Bruins collapse to the Flyers. It was so much more special the next year when the B's took it all.

    Some say this is as big of a collapse as others I don't think so at all and in many ways the team will be the better after this diseasterious (I'm pretty sure that's spelt wrong) year.

    Well, I shut down my computer last night and watched the end of the games in bed, so I just want to say this once.

    Seriously though. That must suck. Lots of changes I am sure.
