Just a month ago, the Red Sox were as close as 1.5 games back of the Evil Empire, in second place in the AL East breathing down their necks waiting to hit another gear. Oh what a difference a month makes.
The month of May—as many of us wrote about earlier this week—was one of the harshest months to watch as a Sox fan. Infuriating moments preceded by bone-headed mistakes all wrapped in what feels like a lack of accountability. Triston Casas and Alex Bregman went down with extended injuries, the former gone for the entirety of the season.
