Not surprised, but offended.
This is the METRO LEAD and FEATURE, huh, you self-serving PoS!?
"Now is the fall of our discontent; For sports fans, blue is this season’s color" by Andrew Ryan, Globe Staff | October 14, 2009
The frigid, spirit-sapping rain yesterday would have been enough, without a morning commute marred by a truck rollover and a massive water main break. But these days, New England seems to know no end of pain, still reeling from an epic ninth-inning Red Sox collapse that swept the team out of the playoffs before fans had a reason to cheer.
Yeah, imagine if SOMEONE YOU LOVED had been KILLED, huh?
The Patriots then fell by a field goal in overtime, and the Bruins stumbled in their first home stand for a disappointing 2-3 start. So instead of the crisp, championship air that has dominated so many recent Octobers, the region’s collective psyche is curled in the fetal position.
But hope can sometimes be found in the most unlikely places....
Yeah, and the NEWSPAPER is NOT ONE of 'em!!!!!!
“I cried,’’ said Tami Warner, 26, an Air Force veteran from Southbridge who after eight years of watching the Red Sox win from afar in Louisiana and Iraq had tickets Monday night to Game 4, which wasn’t necessary. “I don’t think I’ve ever cried before when they lost. Part of me died.’’
Is PART of you CRYING for all the DEAD GUYS coming back? COME ON!!!!!!
The Red Sox season began with tantalizing promise after an 8-0 run against the Yankees, punctuated by Jacoby Ellsbury stealing home. But a three-game division lead at the All-Star break evaporated when Boston began the second half of the season with a victory but then lost five straight. The Yankees clinched the division at home with the Red Sox on the field. And Boston looked anemic against the Los Angeles Angels in the playoffs, which included just one game at Fenway Park.
Just like the old losers!
All "news" you REALLY NEEDED to KNOW, huh?
Don't they have "one of the best sports sections in the county?"
So WHY ISN'T THIS THERE, huh?
“We try to help people reframe things and look at the bigger picture,’’ said John Plunkett, a managing partner at Mass Bay Counseling, which has offices in Quincy and Marshfield.
You mean, like considering the WARS and LOOTINGS of the American people?
“Yes, the Red Sox lost, but we were part of a small number of teams that made the playoffs.’’
Another way to “reframe’’ the loss: “By losing to the Angels, we are spared being destroyed by the Yankees,’’ Plunkett said.
Or think about it this way: Be glad you are not Jacob Bachelor, 28, who flew with seven friends from Duncan, Okla., with grandstand tickets for Game 4. Or Luis Quiñones, 58, who traveled with his Game 4 tickets from Las Cruces, N.M., to see what would have been his first game Red Sox game in Boston....
PFFFFT!
