COMMENTARY
This? This can’t continue. The Red Sox might be better. They might be worse. (Honest. It could be so much worse.)
But this is mind-bending.
“They were all really intense, tense, stressful games,” Chicago manager Tony La Russa told reporters after his team swept a three-game series at Fenway Park with all of 10 total runs. “They hit some balls hard. Their time is coming. They’re too good.”
It’s nice to hear someone not currently paid by the Red Sox say it. And while I would normally question the judgment of a 77-year-old man who dresses in a full baseball uniform every day, I think he’s on to something.
