Just My Imagination

If only it were late April, or mid-May even, the Sad Sox turning a corner by firing their manager and showing signs of life. Then, I could get excited by a series win over the A’s. Rookie Sean Burke won his first major-league start, with five solid innings of two-run ball. Gavin Sheets homered for the second straight game while Bryan Ramos added a double and a home run. Sox win, 4-3. But this isn’t a team turning corners. Instead, it’s trying to stave off the humiliation of suffering the most losses in a season. The ’62 Mets had 120; after 150 games, their record stood at 37-113. The Sad Sox are 35-115 Imagine that.
