I get into some hyper baseball discussions and that comes with a special emphasis on the Boston Red Sox. The discussions are usually among those two voices swirling around my brain pan. One voice is the baritone drone that is symbolic of the Fellowship of the Miserable and fully loaded negativity. The other is upbeat to the nth degree and sees everything Red Sox as rainbows and unicorns.
In 2017, the Red Sox won 93 games and collared another divisional crown. In the grand scheme of water down baseball playoffs this is about as significant as winning two bucks on a scratch ticket.
