"It just gets worse" "Snap back to reality" - Boston Red Sox fans concerned their hot streak is over after blowout loss to Toronto Blue Jays

The Boston Red Sox lost 7-2 on the road against the Toronto Blue Jays, and this loss is making their fans nervous. The Red Sox have been one of the best teams in the MLB after a terrible start to the season, but fans are now worried that the hot streak is over.

This fan thinks his team might finally be coming back down to Earth after their dominant stretch.

Every team goes through ups-and-downs over the course of the season. The key is never letting the downs last too long. This fear of a downswing lasting too long is exactly what has Boston Red Sox fans worried.
