"A hundred years from now, how will we make people understand what just happened here? How will we ever make them understand what happened The Year The Red Sox Finally Won The World Series? There was no way they could ever do this the good old normal way. Never. They're the Red Sox."-Jayson Stark, ESPN.com

"Keep Your Sox On"
 


As we all know, the Red Sox have hit a rough stretch of road lately. The bullpen has been serving up home run at a very dangerous pace, and the Sox lost yet another series in St. Petersburg to the Devil Rays, and the first in a three-game series to the worst team in baseball, the Kansas City Royals. Those losses are embarrassing of course, but I'm here to say this season is far from lost. Continued
