New-look Sox stumble out of the break

I’ve been absent from the blogging beat for a while, due to the All Star break and a nagging bit of a flu bug. So tell me RSN, have I missed anything while I’ve been gone? What’s that? Julio “ball and chain” Lugo was cut loose from the team after two and a half subpar, [...]
