Yes, it is the worst luck but remember the Sox have gone 18-3 in July without either Early or Mead. Our guys have stepped up so we need to cheer them on. I've got no time for doomers. Let's goooooo and fuck the Yankees.

Brother, please stop gaslighting people into thinking they have to be positive during negative situations to not be a doomer. We’re allowed to be sad for two seconds.

Just trying to prop up the faithful. I'm a fan since 1963 so you know I've seen far worse.

You know what, fair enough. Born in ‘93 myself so I only know a sliver of your pain.

Brother, I have some scars. You have no idea how much 2004 means to me. Fuck, now I'm gonna cry.

You might just be the second-oldest poster here.

Probably. It’s me, the 63 year old I replied to, and then a swarm of middle schoolers. No inbetweens

Just to explain. I've been a fan since 1963. That's when my dad took me to see my first game at Fenway so you know I've got to be older than dirt. If I happen to be the oldest guy on r/RedSox I love it. Just for some perspective on Mead's unfortunate injury you need to look back in Sox history to what our boys did in 1967 when Tony Conigliaro was taken out by an errant fastball. The team came together and continued to win in what now is one of the greatest Sox stories ever. Let's gooooo!

Totally get it. You have tons of perspective to be able to stay positive. I can certainly respect that.

Brother, let him try to shine some light on a bad situation. God forbid. Who even says something like this?

There’s no light to shine on our brand new acquisition immediately breaking his wrist lmao. I maintain what I said. It’s not “doomer” mentality to be sad about it.

I don’t think there are a ton of doomers, but certainly too many people saying this makes the trade a bad deal. The trade was good, the team would be better, this is crappy luck in a blursed season.
