2026 Red Sox Thread

Wow, that’s bad man.

I didn’t have it quite that bad, but I will admit that in the tuck rule game, when it seems like the Pats might’ve lost the ball, it just felt like oh well, this is now as it should be, it was a feeling we were so used to.

And as I’ve said before, when the kick in the Super Bowl went through the uprights I very nearly blacked out, and I’m not even kidding.
I was stunned into silence. We normally go to a friend's house for a Super Bowl party and have for 30 years . Steeler fan/Eagles fan/ me the Pats fan and a Cowboys fan ( poor bastard) That year we stayed home as I thought it would be a repeat of the 1986 drubbing. When it went thru the uprights, I sat there looking at the TV trying to comprehend the words ," Patriots are Super Bowl Champs" having lived thru the Holovak, McPherson years, Fairbanks debacle, Parcells checking out,Sullivan clown-show and the son getting punched out, Victor Kiam, a threatened move to Hartford, and the Lisa Olson embarrassment it was hard to believe that they were at the pinnacle and would be in serious contention for the next 20 years as well.
 
These guys can't lose! About to pass the Yankees and the Rays with the division lead are in sight. Just remarkable.
04 Red Sox won 27 of 32 in Aug/Sept. That was the hottest Sox team I've ever seen

1988 Sox won 19 of 20.

2026 have won 31 of their last 36 games.

That is insane.

I had a similar experience. Someone said to me "you got all that Red Sox blood in your veins. You gotta get that **** out."

It wasn't until the Miami OT win Brady to Brown that I fully exercised those demons. If you recall, the Red Sox lost game 7 on the Aaron Boone HR on 10/16/03 and the Pats won three days later 10/19/03. The Red Sox lost me from there until after the Nomar trade. I remember yelling at the TV "THAT'S RIGHT! THAT'S WHAT THEY DO! WIN!" The Pats rewarded my emotional and financial commitment while the Sox spat on it.
 
The extra-innings designated runner on second base has cheapened the game, IMO. Bad rule, still-boring sport.
