COMMENTARY
All things considered, the Red Sox came out of the first two weeks OK. For a minute, it seemed as though Captain Trips was originated not in a remote Army base in Stephen King’s fictional world, but in the Red Sox clubhouse. Fortunately, the SuperFlu seems to have faded, and the Sox are back to business, as they won three out of four to close out the weekend. It was rarely pretty, but the team is 7-5, and things could always be worse. At least they’re not 2-10 like Toronto is. To the rankings!
