You’re forgiven, of course. Just as you’d be forgiven if, say, on Jan. 22 — as the Celtics foundered at 23-24 after another failed fourth-quarter closeout and the Bruins won their 10th in 12 games, Tuukka Rask appearing to be finding it again — you made some grand pronouncement that looks silly today.
Seasons are long things, especially in baseball, where it’s today easier to get into the playoffs than it is Arizona State.
