Everyone Needs to Calm the Fuck Down About the Sox

     In an attempt to distract everyone from the Bruins tragic bounce from the playoffs I'm going to attempt to talk all the people that loathe the Sox right now off the Tobin Bridge.  At this point in time are the Red Sox a championship caliber team? Absolutely not.  I'm not gonna bull shit here but for once I think I actually have a more positive view on something than everyone else.  
    The Sox have 70 million dollars worth of players on the disabled list, their bullpen is in shambles, and wether they're down 10 or up 10 they insist on playing Sweet Caroline in the middle of the 8th inning. Other than that, the Sox are in decent shape.  Yes, they're currently in last place in the AL East but it's only April.  They are only 3.5 games back which can easily be made up in the remaining 5 months of the regular season.  Look at the Angles. Their payroll is 10 million dollars higher than the Red Sox and they are 9 games back of first place as of me writing this.  The sox might be not be in the best place right meow but they can certainly recover.  I don't know about you but I would personally much rather have these struggles in April than in September.  If the Sox can get healthy and make a couple moves before the deadline that is four months away they'll be in contention for a playoff spot come September.  The Cardinals looked awful for a good majority of last season but they still managed to win the World Series.  It is way too early in the season to jump ship on the Sox.
