Ryan's comment: “Simply put, I fear that their best baseball is behind them. ... Sure, if they could have started the playoffs in June when they were getting quality start after quality start and Okey-Dokey was untouchable and Youkilis was on base every five seconds and a few other things, they would have won. Then. But this is now. Is this a team that inspires confidence?”
