Is it right to celebrate winning the American League Wild Card when your team seems incapable of beating a Little League club? Better question may be, is it wrong to celebrate your team clinching a playoff spot when said team resembles a Little League club? The Red Sox and its Nation were faced with this [...]
Upcoming Rays series could make or break season
The Red Sox have finally righted what a few weeks ago looked like a sinking ship. Boston has won 10 of its last 13 games and 14 of 20, and the surge has allowed them to take a semi-comfortable lead in the Wild Card race (4 games over Texas, 5 over Tampa Bay). But just as the [...]
