With the Crimson Sox headed to St. Louis this weekend, it’s a superb time to mirror on what these two franchises imply to the historical past of MLB and the way a lot their reputations have decayed in recent times.
The Crimson Sox haven’t gained a division title in eight years and haven’t hosted a playoff recreation at Fenway Park in 5 years, however no less than appear to be on a basic upswing now. The Cardinals, in the meantime, haven’t made the playoffs since 2022 and are locked deep in a rebuild after posting 22 profitable seasons in 23 years earlier than 2023. Actually, when that streak ended and St. Louis completed in final place in 2023, it was solely their second final place end in over 100 years. (The Crimson Sox in the meantime have accomplished that six instances within the final 15 years, so it appears their solely actual benefit right here is how the rosters look proper now.)
Both manner, each of those groups have seen higher days, and I’m certain the broadcasts will wax poetic about them over the following three video games (and for good purpose).
Discuss this and no matter else you’d like on this house, and as all the time, be good to 1 one other!
