Summing Up 2012 With One Picture

SI:
The cover also features words which have been used often over the past 12 months when discussing the Red Sox, including "dysfunctional, fiasco, epic collapse, chicken and beer, broken, unprepared, done, Liverpool, feud, divided, circus, blown leads, split, disconnect, mediocrity, disarray, management, overpaid, lack of leaders and blame."

"Current manager Bobby Valentine has been blamed for many of this season's problems," the story says. "One baseball executive said, 'The problem when you have a manager like Bobby is that you're always refereeing if the players don’t like the manager. That gets old. And when some people aren't happy, they go around and get other people to be unhappy."

I feel for Bobby V. I wouldn't blame for saying "fuck this noise" and opting out of the rest of his contract.

Curious... with the MFY squandering a 10-game lead in the East, how soon will an article entitled "How The Yankees Lost Their Way" hit the newstands?

This is a regional cover and may not be available outside of the Northeast. (Unlikely to be seen in Toronto.)

Speaking of which, a four-game series begins tonight: Yankees at Orioles.

There is also this piece in Deadspin, about how many times over the course of the season the press declared that the Sox had "hit rock bottom".
