...back, Sox fans might have been better off had they employed more caution in their approach to following this team. Perhaps we should not have allowed ourselves to get carried away with enthusiasm, so that we might never have been so greatly disappointed. Likely, we were foolish to not temper our passions that we might avoid the extremes of short-lived highs and devastating lows that mark the passage of each Boston summer...
