But that’s still 81 wins! Maybe…
Happy Monday.
After losing three out of four games to the New York Yankees the Red Sox sit at 75-75. They’re now 4.5 games out of the Wild Card with the Detroit Tigers and Seattle Mariners each just 2.5 games out.
The meme is, of course, 78-84 again. The Sox have 12 games remaining. Six against the Tampa Bay Rays and three each against the Minnesota Twins and Toronto Blue Jays. The Sox are playing at .400 winning percentage since the All Star Break. 12*.400 is 4.8 which would round up to 5 wins. That’s still 80-82 for the year but breaking the cycle. That’s…something?
For anyone who went to Worcester on Saturday you really could enjoy “Red Sox experience for less money” as the WooSox were up 3-2 entering the 7th inning and the bullpen then allowed 17 runs.
The Red Sox are off today as they travel to Tampa.
Talk about what you want and be good to one another.
