It’s come to this. Just two years removed from a World Series and the Red Sox find themselves in third place in the AL East and not even ten games over .500. In the meantime, our archnemisis is rolling into the post season and has a chance to win their first World Series since 2000.
Friday’s game was encouraging. Juan Tavarez threw a complete game seven hitter as he improved to 4-4. Mike Lowell had the big hit. His two run shot in the second inning set the stage for the 7-1 win.
It all went downhill from there. We had a close game on Saturday, a blowout on Sunday and the Red Sox were shutout on Monday. While I love baseball, I kind of want this season to end. Just five more games and none of them are against contenders. Next up is two against the Rays.
