Two titles in the last 7 years is long suffering?

So let me toast a glass of Haterade to the defeat of the Cardinals. May the Sox crush their enemies, see them driven before them, and hear the lamentation of their women.

Yes they do. By all accounts in the early season they were supposed to run away with the East, with the additions of Reyes and Dickey and a few others. Reyes got hurt and Dickey regressed to the mean and it was just a lost season.

Josh Johnson was the biggest disappointment, and he was the one trying to showcase himself for his contract year so he can jump ship back to the US with an even bigger deal. In a way he has not earned any sympathy when he got hurt and he got hit around like Little League with that "I don't really care about Toronto anyway" attitude.
