Where Is the Red Sox Pride

They were dubbed as being the greatest than ever before

Expectations were high even though they hadn’t begun to score

Huge salaries and talent some say they would be the best

But they couldn’t play together as a team as they were put to the test

Injuries happened, sometimes when they got the call

There was no fire in their heart as they started to fluster and fall

A team is suppose to rise no matter what the challenge or ill weather

Instead they plummeted with the worst baseball meltdown ever

We look up to them as heros but with their failure some cried

Now that the season is over maybe they will search and find there Boston Red Sox pride

Who is to blame for all of this some think that it is very clear

Find your heart in the off season sox players and thank God there will be a next year

Sport fans are really passionate about their teams and I guess that there being a next year is the clincher when all is lost. YOu put feeling into this one.
