In one way of looking at things, this win for the Red Sox on Thursday took an excruciatingly long time. *Insert your tired, worn out, not-very-funny pace-of-play joke here.* The first and last pitches of this game between Boston and Kansas City were separated by about a full two weeks. Two weeks! We’ve seen the Red Sox fall out of it, come back and then fall out of it again all within the span of this one game! In the other way of looking at things, this win for the Red Sox on Thursday took an absurdly short time.
