Red Sox Opening Day – A Wake Up Call

Well that was a dud. Chris Sale was bad, the bullpen was bad, the bats only managed 4 runs in a 12-4 loss. But this isn't about injury, and it's not about punching holes in the teams' talent. This was a wake up call for a team coming off arguably the most historic season in it's 117 year history.

The Red Sox Dodgers Preview Extravaganza

The LA Dodgers just dispatched the upstart Brewers and cashed their ticket to face the Red Sox in the 2018 World Series.  Cue the grainy black and white photos of The Babe in a Red Sox uniform.  Cue The Dropkick Murphys grinding rendition of Tessy.  Cue fans using the Brooklyn Robins in barroom and water cooler talk and the million google searches for ‘Red Sox Dodgers world series’ landing on the 1916 World Series page on Wikipedia.  Cue every old Brooklyn Dodger fan coming out of the woodwork and slightly less grainy photos and videos of Roy Campanella and Jackie Robinson and Pee Wee Reese.  Cue a mountain of content on the 1988 LA Dodgers World Series winners.  Cue the Fever Pitch scene where the old guy counts off the string of Red Sox world series wins in 1912, 1915, 1916, 1918.  Cue Dave Roberts making his fateful steal in the bottom of the 9th in game 4 against Mariano Rivera.  Cue pictures of Alex Cora in an LA Dodgers uniform. The cue rating of this series is through the roof!  It’s an old school, original 6 type of World Series that will be chock full of intrigue and potential controversy at the very least. With a resounding thud all the doubting and putting down of the 2018 Red Sox has been pushed off the desks of commentators nationwide
