Boston fans were so arrogant and cocky that just because the Sox owned the Yankees, it would automatically send them to the World Series.
NEWSFLASH
Not only are they not the 108-54 dominant team ESPN said they'd be in April, but suddenly it looks like they may potentially play this SAME Texas team in the ALDS! Now, here's where Boston fans are contradictory. They say that Boston beating up on New York in the regular season matters, but Texas dominating Boston does not.
THEY CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS! Either both matter, or neither do.
You know what kills me? When Boston struggles, ESPN does whatever it can to justify it. Injuries, questionable calls, their ace vs. Boston's 4th starter, rain delay messed everyone up, etc etc yadda yadda. It gets old! They're treated like royalty babies! It's pathetic.
Contrary to what their fans or ESPN will tell you, Boston has a LOT of work to do if they're going to win in the playoffs.
