I can already feel a chill in the air. Nothing elicits stronger memories and emotions of the fall and winter months than seeing the Patriots take the field, even in 90 plus degree heat. And finally, this Thursday we were reminded again, as Bill Belichick and his minions strode onto the grounds in preparation for the 2016 season.
But, there’s something else, a different sensation. Like when you open the oven door to take out the cookies.
Jackie Bradley Jr. is heating up, and Red Sox Nation can feel it.
The Sox need him, as their remaining schedule is painfully difficult; their only hope is in their offense and players like Bradley to carry them through.
