Holy shit, the Boston Red Sox are 0-6! They were just swept by the fucking Cleveland Indians who are basically a AAA team who can't even get 10,000 people to attend their games. But the early sample we have of the Red Sox season does not give any Sox fan high hopes for this season. They have not pitched, hit, fielded or frankly played baseball consistently. When they pitch well, (example, today when Jon Lester was dominant pitching seven scoreless innings) they don't hit the ball (example, today they get shut out by Fausto Carmona, who isn't bad, but he gave up ten runs to the White Sox on Opening Day). Even worse than that is that they are making stupid mental errors, like Darnell McDonald over running second base to end today's game and Jason Varitek not knowing it wasn't a force play last night, which in theory cost the Red Sox the game. The Red Sox do not look ready and they certainly do not look like a serious playoff contender. The pressure is mounting and I could see that when Kevin Youkilis busted his bat in frustration after striking out last night. I'll say it again, you cannot get swept by the Cleveland Indians! Getting swept by Texas, that was some what understandable. After starting 0-3, I certainly thought at the very least, AT THE LEAST the Red Sox would come back home with a 2-4 record. But they're 0-6. And here come the New York Yankees. The Red Sox have to take two out of three at the very least, or they're season is nearly over. The Red Sox are just like the Detroit Tigers of a few years back. The Tigers were hyped up as the preseason favorites after snagging some of the biggest names in the offseason. They got off to an 0-7 start, and they never recovered. The Red Sox are on that same path, and I know it is only 6 games into the season.

Panic Mode....And We're Only 6 Games into 2011
