Bosox blues

From a recent Bleacher Report reader poll:

What are the Boston Red Sox' chances of stealing the American League Wild Card from the Tampa Bay Rays?

A) 5%-10%        39.1%

B) 10%-20%       11.3%

C) 20%-30%        9.6%

D) Higher           9.6%

E) Zero             30.4%

Since it's impossible to rule the Bosox out completely, I'm in the 5-10% crowd. But it's sure taken the excitement out of watching. More a feeling of foreboding, hopelessness and dread. Just your typical Red Sox emotions, with the exception of a few surprising years in the last decade.
