Here we are yet another season that the Red Sox are struggling to look like a baseball team with any hope of dignity. The team is a shell of their former self and as a result are not looking to be the dominate force that they once were. There are several players on the team that has given the impression that the team has just given up on the whole. This is the feeling that many fans now have of them.

The bullpen is not as strong as it once was; they have had a long dry spell when it comes to getting players that are able to get batters out at the plate. There are several players that are in the bullpen that are not living up to the expectations that the team once had. They are not making the impression that they made in the first part of this century. They actually did the impossible and broke the curse. It appears that now the bull pen is stricken with a new curse in the way of not being able to get batters out.

A decent closer that can hold batters at the plate and prevent massive plays from being made is also a crucial thing that needs to be addressed. This is a problem that has hurt the team for the past several years. The more that they try, the less they are able to find decent closers. This will be a problem that will continue to plague the team the longer that they try to get past this issue. This will be a very important aspect that will need to be considered when you are looking to get the team back on track.

The batting order is one area that has seen a lot of work in the past few years. Ever since the departure of Johnny Damon, the team has suffered some. With the slump that David Ortiz is currently in, there is little wonder if the team will be able to compete with the rest of the big boys. Ortiz was supposed to be the salvation of the team; instead it has lead to the downfall of the team. There is little hope of fixing this problem in time to make an impression in the second part of the season.

No matter what side of things that you stand on, you need to make it a point that you keep the faith for the Red Sox this team is on the brink of making a run for the playoffs in the upcoming seasons. There just needs to be a little more concentration for the team. In the off season the team will be on their way in order getting the team back on track so that 2011 will be the best year for them. There is no reason that the fans of the team should never give up on the team in the upcoming seasons.
