No team has ever lost its first four games of the season and then went on to win the World Series.  Actually, no 0-4 team has ever even made it to the World Series.

So I guess its over.

That kinda sucked. The Sox haven’t even played a home game yet and they have all but been eliminated from World Series contention.

Well, at least it was quick and painless. They didn’t wait until August to rip our hearts out of our chest, stomp on it, douse it with lighter fluid, light it on fire and watch it burn into a rubble of nothing.

Sports Illustrated predicted the Red Sox would win 100 games. ESPN said the Red Sox were a lock to win the AL East.

An M.I.T. professor predicted that the Red Sox would win 101 games based on “statistical models for predictions of the future that are reasonably accurate based on years of data on every player.”

Um…okay.

This is all so disappointing considering the high hopes. The Sox signed the two biggest free agents on the market during the offseason. They shored up their bullpen. Yet today I learned they wont win the World Series.

I guess 2011 is just a wasted season. Maybe 2012 will be the year. Too bad the world will end December 21st 2012...so we wont have much time to enjoy the World Series victory.
