It has been three long years since the Boston Red Sox last won the World Series. The Red Sox have not won a single postseason game since then. The preschools of New England are overflowing with kids that have not been alive long enough to see a championship parade.
This kind of civic angst cannot be allowed to stand.
The Red Sox had David Price, a five-time all-star whom they purchased for $217 million last winter. They had Rick Porcello, the American League Cy Young award winner.
