Oh, how the mighty have fallen! The Boston Red Sox came in to this season with such potential and expectations that even the mighty Casey at the Bat seems like an overachiever, but now could possibly be looking inside the organization for trade bait.
If you remember that classic baseball poem, you know that what seemed like the entirety of the Mudville season hung on the mighty Casey doing his usual and coming through with a home run in the bottom of the ninth inning, with two outs and two runners on base. The pressure, much like the Red Sox, was great, and Casey did not come through.
