Wait, don’t go.
Just when we were starting to put names to faces, just when we were starting to remember what a home run looked like and just when we were starting to get used to all the winning — so much winning — the Red Sox left town yesterday nearly unrecognizable from the motley crew that dragged into town at the start of this homestand.
Who are these guys?
For one, the Red Sox are on a six-game winning streak after a 7-2 homestand, which when combined with the New York Yankees’ downturn landed them back in the top spot of the AL East with a solid three-game lead.
