With latest offensive explosion, Red Sox proving to be fun, relevant again

BOSTON -- Xander Bogaerts has been through this sort of thing before with the Boston Red Sox. But after the slog of back-to-back last-place finishes in the past two years, it gets a little difficult to remember the good times, even the ultimate high of winning the 2013 World Series.

And so, after the Red Sox pummeled the worthy-of-your-pity Oakland Athletics again Wednesday night -- 13-3, after a 13-5 demolition Tuesday night and a 14-7 rout in the series opener Monday -- the 23-year-old shortstop was positive that those good times finally are rolling again at Fenway Park.
