There's no denying, the Sox hit a ton, the stats don't lie. But they don't come through in the clutch (the word clutch is not, nor has it EVER been, a part of the Sox vocabulary, with the exception of David Ortiz, who SHOULD be the AL MVP but won't be) and that's what's necessary to succeed in the postseason. See: New York Yankees. A statistically inferior team to Boston, yet they just won their division for the 6th straight year by winning the important games.

Actually, I think they've won like 20 games or so in the ninth this year, so they have been clutch.
Oh yea, but those games don't really count.
So you are pretty close Mikey, they don't come through in the clutch when it counts, but they do it over and over against puny teams (that they should win against to begin with), so Sox fans gain that hope they might actually do it one day when it counts (or against the Yankees, which won't happen either).

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
