Bradley, CFIt's Sunday, and we need some faith.
One definition describes faith "a firm belief in something for which there is no proof". You may not feel overly optimistic or particularly hopeful about the Red Sox's chances today (or in this series), but having faith is appropriate because to date we have seen no proof that the AL East champs can keep up with the Astros.
