Whaddya know, that is my first put up on the newly formatted OTM! Like I’m positive the remainder of you might be, I’m nonetheless getting used to it.
Anyway, the vibes round Purple Sox nation are fairly excessive proper now. With the 7-game win streak, a report that’s 13 video games over .500, 4 sequence wins in a row, the Roman Anthony extension, securing the highest wild card spot, being solely 3 video games out of first within the division, and the Yankees slumping exhausting (regardless of buying the **finest bullpen within the league** or one thing), there are many causes to really feel good proper now in Boston. Speak about a stark distinction from six weeks in the past! The one factor that would spoil the enjoyable is a Dustin Might flop begin. He makes his debut for the Purple Sox this night, and I’m not feeling tremendous assured. Michael Wacha additionally stays excellent. However the Fenway Sox this 12 months are fairly magical, so perhaps there’s nonetheless hope. At minimal, we bought the sequence win.
By the best way, for those who can, get to a Fenway sport. The crowds have been unimaginable. I went to Monday’s sport and it was probably the most crowded I’d ever seen Fenway on a Monday.
First pitch: 7:10 p.m. EST
