The Boston Red Sox have one of the best team in baseball and with that comes the worry. Just what can go wrong?

Since I enjoy apocalyptic literature and movies a natural transition exists for a segue into another favorite topic – baseball. The Red Sox are teetering on a great performance abyss – a natural assumption for those of us who have honed our everything Red Sox and the potential – real or imagined – of imminent disaster. What can go wrong will undoubtedly do just that – go wrong.

Several reputable baseball sites have predicted the Red Sox to accomplish another division title and eventually wind-up in another 21st century World Series appearance.

Will it happen? A great cataclysmic event that in the movies or print brings civilization to an abrupt end? What seeds of doubt are surfacing that cause a sudden revelation that all behind that curtain must not be ignored? So in my focus on the negative and placing of the positive deep within, I will put forward my list of potential nightmares.
