Forget the 20 runs from last night, if you can. It might be hard because 20 runs is quite a few runs, but since they all came in one game they only count once, and the Red Sox are going to need to win several times to dig themselves out of this hole. It’s mostly a case of my column being on Thursdays and having to write about a doomed team that just scored 20 runs, which is a funny proposition until you have to do it.
Anyhow yeah, last night was great, but the Sox are still in trouble.
