DAMN those Red Sox!
Just after I have accepted their fate as a mediocre, hustling but under-talented ball club, they pull out a game where there were down 4 in the 8th inning and win it in 9! They are now 6-7 games OVER .500, within single digits now of the hated Yankees…playing well and it’s damn near The 4th of July!
Just a few weeks ago, they were floundering a few games below .500, striking out with great regularity and literally throwing games away with their injured riddled Triple A line-up. Credit to Alex Cora (is there a better manager in MLB?) and his staff for staying the course.Credit a bunch of ball players, playing hard and not giving up.
But DAMN those Red Sox. Now it’s me, MLB Network nightly, my TV, a beer and my swearing from here until the middle of August when they will predictably swoop and race for last place! (again)…
