"What happened? Those two words would be uttered in disbelief by any Red Sox fan who somehow missed the free-fall that took place over the final two months of the season. There's not even a true answer. Instead, there's a barrage of factors that added to the bitter taste that came with the season falling well short of the original goal - playing meaningful games in October. It was a bitter pill to swallow for a team that made it to the postseason the last three years." - Sportswriter Ian Browne on MLB.com (10/02/2006)
