    World Series Game 3: Houston, we have a series

    It’s shocking this is the kind of response you have on SOSH. And having a Japanese wife doesn’t magically skew the weight of your opinion. In my opinion, you should be even more ashame.

    Is that realistic? Red Sox would have to do this with every single player they may have interest in a trade?

    What's gone right?

    Or 13-4 is 0.765 winning% while Oak/Hou/Atl/NYY are combined 50-87 or 0.635 losing%. 8-7 is 0.533 winning% while Bal/Tor/Chi are combined 62-42 or 0.404 losing%. The team is doing great.

    Red Sox sign David Price

    Drew is walking through that door
