The Red Sox are sunk. John Farrell has assumed the role of Odysseus in the baseball version of a Greek tragedy that is the 2015 Red Sox. Unfortunately, our Odysseus has already crashed upon the rocks. Farrell has called meetings. Veteran players have called meetings. Occasional sparks such as the seven run come-from-behind victory have done little to energize this lethargic and vastly overpaid collection of under-performing talent.
John Henry and Ben Cherington, are the architects of this latest disappointment (see, 2012, 2014) and their day of retribution will most certainly come. For Cherington it will be the unemployment line and for Henry it will be failing revenues that will be translated into lost value.
