COMMENTARY
Five years ago, we grew fond of noting “they don’t really lose much, do they?” as the Red Sox marched through a season for the ages. But even they, champions of both October and March, dropped nine of 31 games in Florida before the season began.
This year’s expectation-free Red Sox are the true unstoppable force.
Three weeks from a March 30 opener at an assuredly bracing Fenway Park, Boston is 10-0-3 in spring ball if we include the classic “exhibitions that don’t count” over both Northeastern and, on Wednesday, Team Puerto Rico.
