Just because it’s a national holiday doesn’t mean we stop pumping out the Monday Morning Brushback, folks.
Bad news good news on the Red Sox front after this past week, I suppose. The bad news is that prime opportunities to make up some ground in the Wild Card chase were squandered. It’s tough to defend a series where you dropped three (well, technically two I suppose on account of the suspension) games out of five at home against a rudderless divisional foe in the Toronto Blue Jays, and Saturday’s game in Detroit realistically could’ve resulted in a victory had boneheaded mistakes on defense not directly led to the second of the Tigers’s two runs crossing the plate.
