Remember folks. This guy got his dick sucked by the resident Yankee fans for 3+ months. They sure know how to pick 'em.

The one thing the Sox really needed at the trade deadline . . . . But I'm sure Ian Kinsler will out perform Holt so I guess it's all good. :scratch:

It's time for this day in AL East history:

8/29/78- Yankees 7.5 GB


Don't forget that the Yankees erased that lead very quickly and even were up 3.5 games on the Sox in mid September. They then choked their own lead away to force the one game playoff. So there.

Absolutely true. 10+ game shift in the standings in less than 30 games. That's nuts.

Going into the last day of the season, the Yanks had a 1 game lead and got smoked at home by the woeful Cleveland Indians, Sox won their 8th in a row, shutting out Toronto to force game #163.

You might have heard-the Sox had a 2-0 lead in that one in the 7th inning. :)

Eh. I'd still rather be 6.5 up than 6.5 down, but I have to admit, it is kinda fun stirring up the PTSD in you guys.

Boston Red Sox Top 20 prospects for 2018: mid-season review

Houck's season stats are a bit disappointing, but he's really improved his command over the past few months. He's only walked 16 batters in his last 58.1 innings (along with 66 K's and 47 hits allowed).

Not a whole lot going on as far as position prospects go outside of Ockimey/Chavis/Dalbec. Some interesting arms, but it's still a very meh farm system.
