Re: Not a lot of good news today

Things have taken a turn for the worst for sure. How long could we expect
below par players to over achieve? We had a nice run and will probably get
down to where we belong. 7-8 playoff spot. So this masochistic management
team is bringing on Dana, swell.

Don't be discouraged, remember this is Boston. Fans tolerate this crap here.
In NY they are run out of town. Did the lowly Giants defeat Philly
today??????
