All of Red Sox Nation could relate to the way this Red Sox fan was feeling at this moment during Wednesday night's 10-3 loss to Tampa Bay. Boston gets their ass handed to them on the field while drunken Red Sox fan gets a beat down from the cops (who are keeping the drunken fan off the field).Wednesday's loss was like a double loss for the Red Sox. Boston loses 2 out of 3 in the series, drop 4 of 6 against Tampa Bay over the last 10 days, are two games out in the standings (instead of leaving Tampa tied for first), and lose the season series (and the AL East tiebreaker) to the Rays 10-8.
Both Boston and Drunken Boston Fan are 'Screewwed'.
With the number of the day at 4 (Boston's magic number for clinching a playoff spot), I am torn about who I will root for in Tampa's upcoming four-game series (starting Thursday) with Minnesota.
Is it better to hope that Tampa keeps winning, which will get Boston into the playoffs quicker, or is it better to root for Minnesota, and hope that Boston can repeat the success they had with Toronto last weekend this weekend up in Canada so Boston can catch Tampa for the division title?
Reaching the playoffs (and getting some rest for the starters) is great but winning the division (and avoiding Los Angeles) maybe better.
