Major League Baseball

Sure, it's a bit erratic, but a World Series victory covers a world of hurt that may follow.

The Sox and Pats won titles during their respective 2018 seasons and that's the last champions we've seen. Going on five years is as extreme of a title drought New England has experienced since the start of the 21st century.

Do you like the way Boston is being run? If not, what will it take to get you on board?

There's not much for frustrated Sox fans to do at this point but let out a "what the hell?" kind of giggle.

The sports world lost a legend, and baseball lost its best poet, on Tuesday when Vin Scully passed away at the age of 94.

Do you think the Sox should be sellers at the deadline, or give it one final push to get back in the hunt?
