Boston Red Sox suddenly looking a whole lot more competitive

Well, well, well. Would you look at that. Isn’t it amazing what a couple of wins can do? At the beginning of this week the Boston Red Sox were basically ‘booed’ out of town, by the majority of an angry fan base, a fan base eagerly prodded and cajoled into this negative behaviour by a Boston sports media frothing at the mouth. The outpouring of anger was so great, the national sporting media took note. Several commentators were visibly shocked by the toxic atmosphere at Fenway Park.

The Sox were written off, by their own fans. There were calls to blow the team up, and start rebuilding. Bobby Valentine had to be sacked, kicked out the door and told never to come back.

So, how are things looking now? Wouldn’t you love to ask one of those idiots that stood behind the home dugout ‘booing’ with all their physical worth, how did they think the Red Sox were doing now? Suddenly the Red Sox season is looking much more positive, as they cruise towards the .500 mark on the back of a 4 game winning streak. They haven’t just won those games, they have annihilated the opposition, pummeled them into submission with their bats, scoring a whopping 34 runs across the 4 game streak.
