A Year to Rememer, A Season to Forget



I decided to take stats and facts of this 2012 Red Sox year and give a big picture of just how bad this really was, how far from grace this franchise is from their 2004/2007 championships years, and how the future looks now that the Sox off-loaded a bunch of player, staff, and payroll, including
Bobby V's firing earlier today... Pink Hat Nation... Even you can understand this...

  • 793 - Fenway Park's Current Sell Out Streak dating back to May 15th 2003
  • 470 - (4.70) The pitching staff's combined ERA (ranked 27th in mlb)
  • 426 - The winning percentage of the 2012 season, and lowest in the last 25yrs
  • 315 - The team's on base percentage (ranked 22nd in mlb) and the lowest it has been in 11yrs
  • 275 - $275 Million dollars in contracts were dealt away when Boston sent Beckett, Gonzales, and Crawford in a blockbuster payroll-offloading deal to the Dodgers
  • 93 - The total losses on the season, this club usually wins this amount of games
  • 34 - The total of home game wins this season (lowest in 14yrs)
  • 26 - 26 Games out of 1st place in the AL east for a last place finish in the division
  • 20 - Kevin Youkilis' Red Sox number, one of the last characters of the championships years
  • 18 - The amount of "off-days" that former players like Beckett had for golf outings
  • 8 - The losing streak to end the season while going 16-43 (.271win %) from Aug 1st - Today
  • 4 - The number of players that attended Johhny Pesky's funeral (Ortiz, Buchholz, Salty, Padilla)
  • 3 - The number of solid free agents/signings they will need to make this off-season to compete
  • 2 - The number of games I went to this year (in April/May) and refused to support them after
  • 1 - 1 Player is left from the 2004 team... The idiots... When this team was fun... (Ortiz)
  • 0 - The number of playoff wins since the losing game 7 in the ALCS vs Tampa Bay in 2008
