Thursday was Alex Cora’s birthday, and he celebrated in style. The Red Sox gave him not one, but two wins to celebrate his 43rd year on this planet, and then they sprayed champagne all over the place to top it all off. He had a pretty good day, is what I’m trying to say.
Thursday was a day of redemption for Jackie Bradley Jr., whose inconsistency finally broke a pretty sizable portion of Red Sox fans this year. He’s always caught the ire of fans throughout his career, and for as great as his defense is the lack of offense at times can be grinding.
