I can't remember..who won the WS last year?

I have this recurring delusion that it was the…wait for it….Boston Red Sox! And that they dominated, first place from the jump, no more than three straight losses ever, 97 wins.
This year's edition is on pace to match 2012's Bobby V fiasco with 69 wins. That's pretty consistent. Must've been some wicked strong psychedelics, I guess.

team needs either a hitting coach or sports psychologist!

Lots of young talent - they will be fine. Karma is coming back to haunt them this year, that's for sure!

there's no crying in baseball!

or at least perform well at exactly the right time. They caught lightning in a bottle last year. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed every bit of it, but I would have been surprised if they had made the playoffs this year. I didn't think they would be this bad, but given the injuries, under performers, and the large number of rookies they've played for much of the season, I can completely understand how they got to where they are this season.
