How come the Red Sox always choke?

in the final month and have trouble winning their division. I like the red sox and everything but im sick and tired watching this team getting to a great star during the first 5 months of the season, but in septembe they always find way to lose thier lead in their division and let those hated yankees always have the final laugh and with the division.

IS JUST FRUSTRATED TO SEE IT HAPPEN YEAR AFTER YEAR.

    In contemporary days the pitching for the Boston pink Sox has had an quite severe era (6+) and Curt Schilling has no longer inspired me. Throw in an injured Jason Veratek and you have the aspects for a whole fall down of a franchise. So, for all intents and purposes, the N.Y. Yankees have very almost clinched the yank League jap branch are headed into the A.L.C.S. Mariano Rivera loaded up the bases with the o.ok. from between the main mind-blowing minds in baseball, at present, Joe Torre. great call.

    They found there way into the playoffs where anything is possible . This Red sox team is a scary one . They have a good pitching staff & Sluggers . The fans need to beleive in there team and not look at past , cuz it's just that . The Past .Boston fans are great and dearly love there sox . This baseball fan knows they have a real shot at winning it all . Get behind your team and beleive till your last out . Your team will pick up on your loyality & come thru for you ! Remember it's not over till it's over . I like your chances , just beleive in your team !!!!!

    Because the players take on the personality of their fans, who are the whiniest, most self-pitying, sky-is-falling crybabies in all of sports. I'll never forget Ben Affleck's comments after the Yankees signed A-Rod, basically saying "It just isn't fair". Then, when David Ortiz said a few years ago that the Yankees should just let them win it for a change because they've had their share. What is that?!

    How old are you, this should not come as a surprise.

    The real problem with the Sox right now is the lack of Man ram in the line up, put that guy back in and this all changes, im not blaiming him for an injury, but this whole thing would be different with his bat in the line up.

    Man stop your bellyaching. You won a series recently, didn't you? try being a Cubs fan or a Giants fan or an Indians fan. Then you can complain. But the choking thing is just an offshoot of the city of Boston being scared of the city of New York. Every once in a while Boston teams jump bad and beat a New York team, but they feel they are second best because New York is bigger and has more resources than Boston.

    The Red Sox are a game and a half ahead of the Yankees and they are leading the division at this time. Are you telling us that, on behalf of all Red Sox fans, you are throwing in the towel and giving up?

    Because they don't chew, ba doom tiss!

    Did you know that since Rick Ankiel came up that Ortiz and Manny have each driven in 1 more run than Ankiel. Boston isn't exactly getting their $30 million worth from those two lately.

    I know what you mean. I could totally see what's happening right now coming for weeks. At least the Tigers are bombing too so if God forgive the Yankees take the division we're ok but it is depressing. The injuries are killing me right now.

    (Mind you...i am a sox fan)

    They can't experiment with the brandon moss types this late, that is what spring training is for... force manny to play and trade him after the world series
