Wednesday June 25 was the day Red Sox fell to the Angels to conclude a sweep by the Halos and drop Boston to 40-42. It was also the 23rd birthday of Cheer Up!, the fourth studio album by ska band Reel Big Fish. The hit track of that album was not one of their traditional ska offerings but the much more regular-sounding rock song Where Have You Been? about a guy whose girlfriend (ex-girlfriend? Third baseman?) isn’t around anymore. While you might think that’s where we’re going you’re way off.
Jeff Passan and Kiley McDaniel ranked the top MLB trade deadline candidates with several noted as good fits for Boston.
