The Boston Red Sox, in Need of Support

The Boston Red Sox, in Need of Guidance

This has not been a season that the faithful of the Red Sox want to remember, there have been a ton of issues that have formed with the team in the past few seasons. This team is a far cry from the glory that they had no more than five years ago. Since the day that the curse was broken the team has seemed to be under a new curse. This new curse has made the team look less than stellar. The Faithful of the Red Sox are holding out hope that there is still time left to bring the team back from the edge and get them back on track.

The bullpen is not as strong as it once was; they have had a long dry spell when it comes to getting players that are able to get batters out at the plate. There are several players that are in the bullpen that are not living up to the expectations that the team once had. They are not making the impression that they made in the first part of this century. They actually did the impossible and broke the curse. It appears that now the bull pen is stricken with a new curse in the way of not being able to get batters out.

A decent closer that can hold batters at the plate and prevent massive plays from being made is also a crucial thing that needs to be addressed. This is a problem that has hurt the team for the past several years. The more that they try, the less they are able to find decent closers. This will be a problem that will continue to plague the team the longer that they try to get past this issue. This will be a very important aspect that will need to be considered when you are looking to get the team back on track.

The batting order is in need of some serious help. Since the departure of Damon, the team has struggled to have any real hitting power on the roster, there are several players that have the potential to be the big hitters for the team, and these hitters are looking to make a lasting impression for the rest of the team. David Ortiz was supposed to be the one player that was supposed to save the team, in many regards, the savior looks the be part of the problem for the team on the whole. The Red Sox needs to use their trades wisely and get some players that will get the team on track for the rest of the season.

Overall the team is looking like they are on the road to have a very long and bad second part of the season. This will as a result mean that the Red Sox will be watching the World Series from the comfort of their home, instead of being a part of it. If the rebuilding is continuous, then the team does have a little hope of being able to play in the Fall Classic next season. There is no reason why fans, need to give up on the Red Sox, they just need to pray harder that the team finds their way back from the darkness.
