"I can’t keep smiling through the pain" "Would be more surprised if we won" - Boston Red Sox fans feel beaten down after home loss to Atlanta Braves

The losses keep piling up for the Boston Red Sox, who, this time, lost 8-4 to the Atlanta Braves. This loss came at Fenway Park and was the breaking point for many of the Red Sox faithful. The team has struggled all season, but hopes for improvement have, somehow, lingered. That is almost entirely gone now, as the Red Sox have fallen to last place in the American League East.Coming into 2022 the AL East was expected to be extremely competitive, with the Red Sox right in the mix. That has not quite been the case. The New York Yankees are running away with first place, but the Toronto Blue Jays and Tampa Bay Rays are battling for second.Even those who held out hope longer than most are beginning to lose faith.Madison(Taylor’s Version) ミ☆@Madisonhickey2@RedSox I can’t keep smiling through the pain besties2@RedSox I can’t keep smiling through the pain besties https://t.co/6mO0XcXtOcAs soon as losing becomes the expectation, you know the team is in serious trouble.oliver wolk@oliver_wolk@RedSox Would be more suprised if we won@RedSox Would be more suprised if we wonThe Atlanta Braves could be the team that finally killed the Boston Red Sox's championship aspirations.Jared Carrabis@Jared_CarrabisStarting to think this is not the Red Sox year.91148Starting to think this is not the Red Sox year.Atlanta Braves fans were all over Fenway Park, especially at the end of the game.
