So it turns out the Red Sox are not the juggernaut they appeared to be for the first four months of the year. They are not the big bad world-beaters they were playing on TV. They are, instead, a bunch of messy boys who love drama, which is its own sort of fun. Sometimes.
You see sometimes, there’s no drama. That used to be in the form of Sox walkover wins, but now it’s walkover losses, and those stink on ice. Case in point: Tuesday night’s thwacking at the hands of the Rays. Nothing fun about that.
