Those are the two defining characteristics of a Red Sox fan. You doubt they are going to win the big games, yet you always believe they can. You doubt the abilities of players like Lugo and J.D. Drew, but then you believe in them when they come through (still waiting for Lugo, btw). You doubt Francona can manage Little League, but then he delivers the AL pennant. (Although there are plenty of folks who think the Sox won in spite of his management.) You doubt the value of players like Coco Crisp, then you believe when you see him sacrifice himself for a catch even with a 9 run lead. You doubt, and then you…
