You do not have to be a Boston Red Sox baseball fan to take notice of the Red Sox who sank into last place at the expense of a team that came to Boston last weekend that was in last place when they arrived but were no longer in last place upon leaving.
The Red Sox were predicted to be play-off bound when the season began.
In what is likely to be their worst finish in 20 years, the Red Sox need a total remake.
Tuesday’s victory over the Yankees shows that hope springs eternal – but the Red Sox remain in last place and for Red Sox Nation this is very hard to take.
