In the preceding 80 years they finished last twice! Granted, comparing a 5 team division with what was mostly an 8 team league isn’t a perfect comparison. Still in a watered-down league with two Wild Card births, how hard it is to at least be in contention? If we were having the Rays season, fans would be satisfied. Three years of uninspired and pathetic baseball is inexcusable. The bullpen the Red Sox built was never good enough to carry what was supposed to be a mediocre pitching staff. In the end the rotation and the bullpen have been horrible. Changes have to be made. Sadly, I don’t think they will be. The lack of urgency at all levels of this organization is staggering.
