2006 Red Sox: RIP

ESPN called this a few weeks back, right after the latest Boston Massacre, but with the latest health issues with David Ortiz (heart palpatations) and Jon Lester (cancer), it's over. Curt Schilling (14-7, 4.13 ERA) and Josh Beckett (14-10, 5.11 ERA) remain the aces, but have been getting rocked lately. Tim Wakefield and Matt Clement are still injured, and while Jonathan Papelbon will return to action soon, it's pretty much irrelevant.

What really sucks is the fact that the Phillies (the Phillies!) might actually win the NL wild card, while Boston has no shot of winning the AL wild card or the AL East.
