Oh, these Red Sox

I became a Sox fan in the early 2000s, before 2003 when they almost won the ALCS and before 2004 when they won the World Series (which I really never expected).

I feel like that again. After what happened. People often say it's Fenway, which is a hitter's park. Perhaps too there is the strong psychological factor of the loyal fan base. But, we need to start winning on the road as the Globe points out.

And meanwhile, it is interesting. Our shortstop mess is really complicated as the Globe stated the other day, although I am hopeful as it does give us some flexibility.

Oh well. Time is ticking, but we can pick up some of the pieces.
