The good news about the month of May is that we finally got a glimpse of the Red Sox team we were either expecting, or at least hoping, to see this season. Their offense spent the latter half of the month as one of the very best in baseball, and they got enough from their starting pitching to hide a bullpen that still has its issues. It was certainly a much better month than the one they had in April, after which they were just 9-14. The bad news is they couldn’t finish things strong. They were set up to really get back to a solid spot in the standings as they finished the month with five against the Orioles and then one against the Reds, but they lost four of those six games to go out with a whimper.
