From the Back Porch: Sox Win in Minn HUGE
The great thing about baseball is that your team almost always plays the next day. Nothing cures a three-game losing streak like a big win, and that’s just what the Sox got last night.
Had I been on the ball, posting a blog entry Wednesday morning, I would have written about Tuesday’s loss being a microcosm of the entire season - failed execution; missed opportunities; blown game.

I would have written about how every game matters and the Sox have simply not executed in every game as such. I would have written about how this team should EASILY be 20 games above 500 and comfortably in first place. In all, I would have written about how I had simply lost faith in this team’s ability to close out and win the division; about how a trend of fundamental breakdowns and blown games early in the season was not correcting itself and was destined to do this team in.
