From what I can gather, that's how a lot of Sox fans are feeling right now. However, I would like to encourage everybody to keep a cooler head. If we survived last September, then we can survive anything.
Keep in mind that last September:
- The trade deadlines had passed, so we were stuck with the team we had.
- The Indians' lineup looked a whole lot scarier than ours.
- We had a handful of guys having career years, and they might not be enough.
- We had very little depth.
- We hadn't won anything in 88 years.
If we're 6 1/2 back of the Tigers in the Central and neck-and-neck in the Wild Card race, then I'll get a little antsy. Right now, there are a lot of ways this team can improve, and Kenny Williams will make a move when that's the case. The team had holes last year, but the overall performance was hard to top, as the rest of baseball found out. Kenny stayed put, except for acquring Geoff Blum for Ryan Meaux. Ryan Wing? I think it was Meaux.
Geoff Blum. That one worked out.
