Poster LouGehrig speculates that the Red Sox are in danger of collapsing as they are prone to in history. Now with only a 2.5 game lead, how would one expect a Beantown fan react? How ’bout calling for the team to just win enough to get to the playoffs and then forfeit the rest of their games.

Boston doesn’t deserve to win the division. The team obviously doesn’t care about exorcising old demons and delivering a division title to its fans for the first time in 12 years. Otherwise the club would take these September games a lot more seriously, and actually make an effort to win them.

It is amazing how ready to be disappointed the Sox fans are, but I don’t think Zen is the only one, just the most vocal. Will the Red Sox hang onto the division or wind up settling for the Wild Card spot?
