Red Sox Nation in a Tailspin
Panic in April as Team Goes 2-10
By: Charles Giuliano - 04/16/2011
There is no joy in Mudville.
The Boys of Summer can’t make it through Spring.
Yeah , yeah, yaddah, yaddah, yaddah.
It’s only April.
Off to a slow start. Of Epic proportions. One for the record books.
Two for ten.
Good grief.
Irony is the only team they have beaten is the Yankees.
Twice.
Opening day at Fenway the first lonely win of the season.
El foldo everwhere else home and on the road.
Even Cleveland.
As my buddy Phil the potter from Ohio likes to rub it in.
Salt in the wound.
Is this the same team that was widely picked, pre season, to go all the way to the World Series?
Again.
The only speculation appeared to focus on the eventual opponent.
Word from the dugout is that everyone is working their tail off.
Sure. Got that.
Not good enough.
We are used to the season ending el foldo.
Been there done that.
Bucky Dent.
But a pratfall out of the gate.
No, this is something new.
Even for the sox.
It ain’t even Memorial Day but.
Wait till next year.
