Barnes isn't getting it done and I don't want to let him off the hook, but the front office let the team down at the deadline. Completely destroyed any positive momentum we had by not getting a 1B (the obvious hole in the lineup). And honestly, it should have been addressed well before the deadline.
I don't think there was much chance to get a deal done before the deadline, even if the Red Sox had been looking. The draft was happening and that was where teams had their energies focused. That said, it sure would've been nice to get a few people to fill the obvious holes that existed on the roster.
I was hoping your optimism would somehow, some way, find a way to prevail through that devastating performance last night, just to give me a little bit of hope, but it is feeling pretty hopeless!! I enjoy your posts though even if they don't heal my hopelessness!

I'm sorry, Creed! I tried! Thanks for the kind words, and we'll try to get back to optimism soon if we can, you know, win a game. :)
Let's not get crazy here with these outlandish dreams!
