Some reassuring things following the Sox loss to the Angels, probably a short lived but (for me at least) essential thread:

* Buchholz looked good. There's reason to think he'll be a good pitcher in the future

* The Red Sox have addressed their catching situation this year by getting Victor Martinez. That's an important development.

* The Angels have had really, really good teams the past few years. They too have been swept before and have lost when they were expected to win. There's no shame in having the Angels for company.

* Speaking of company, the Cardinals (many people's odds-on NL favorite) were eliminated first.

* The Red Sox did not lose to the Yankees in the ALCS.

* Many of us could tell this team wasn't good enough to win it all

* The sour taste in our mouth will increase excitement both for the offseason and the beginning of next year

* The sour taste should also be in John Henry and Theo Epstein's mouth. Hopefully Henry is writing Theo a check for $50m to spend on FA's right now.

Feel free to add other things...
