When it rains, it pours. Unfortunately for the Red Sox and their fans, we've known that all too well this early season. Heavy rainfall has postponed tonight's match up with the Tampa Bay Rays. While this might be frustrating for fans looking for Boston to get on track, this might actually end up being a good little break for the players.
Woefully inefficient through the first eleven games, a pause in action to gather their thoughts and regain their confidence physically and mentally, should hopefully allow for some more positive results and, along with with that, some brighter weather.
Next up for the Sox -- the Toronto Blue Jays. Boston will welcome back former pitching coach and now Toronto manager, John Farrell. Perhaps they could somehow work out a deal sending Curt Young back to Canada with the Blue Jays and place Farrell back in his position to right the ship for this disappointing pitching staff.
Either way, the Red Sox are now out of excuses and must find a way to turn things around before we venture any deeper into April. So let's hope that when the rain stops, the winning starts. Because if the results on the field don't improve dramatically, we could be looking at one of the most disappointing teams in the history of baseball. And that's not exactly the type of history this team was supposed to author.
