Well, the FRS managed one out of three at the Stadium and ended up the weekend with a 3 game lead in the East. There are 20 games left to go in the season, so it is not over by a long shot, but the Sox are probably happy with their position right now. Of course us die-hard fans just know that a collapse is coming, I can feel it, a 2 game lead over the Yankees entering the final weekend of the season and needing to win just one game against the Bronx Bombers to clinch and they get swept at home. To make matters worse it will be on a Mark Bellhorn homer and Alan Embree will pitch a masterful 2 innings of relief to finish the game.
Although dead since 1986, I fully expect it to actually be Kate Smith singing “God Bless America” during the 7th inning stretch the way Bob Sheppard the Yankee Stadium public address announcer says, “Ladies and gentlemen, Kate Smith.”
