View from the Monster 7-14
As the Red Sox hit the break, all is right with the Nation once again. The Sox had a great 5-1 week (3-0 versus Minnesota and 2-1 against Baltimore), which coupled with the Rays 0-7 week, turned the 5.5 game deficit into a half-game lead. As quickly as the Sox dropped back, they [...]
