Major League Baseball

Craig Breslow is actually talking like a GM Boston fans would want to get behind.

While it was just one bad weekend, it came at an inopportune time for the Sox if they expect to get help next week.

It's been a first half filled with pleasant surprises for the Boston Red Sox.

In honor of the latest father-son duo in sports, let's take a look back at the combos that actually did it on merit and talent...

Apart from the Celtics who back up their words with action, which Boston ownership group do you trust the most to bring another championship back to Beantown?

He's only 25, but so far he's 21-24 as a Major Leaguer with a 4.66 ERA in 53 career starts. To this point, it's been more hype than result for the righty hurler.

Even coming off what was a very impressive season a year ago, it's at an entirely new level this season. Whether it's delivering walk-off hits, swiping bags, robbing home runs or stretching out an extra 90 feet, Jarren Duran is a gamechanger and he's becoming as lethal as anyone at doing so.

Assuming the Celtics get the job done tonight - I mean, it's written in the stars, just look at the date (6-17), that's Boston's area code for goodness sake - which of the region's teams is best positioned to win the next championship?

Is it glass half full or glass half empty for the Sox? Or, have you lost care in a team that's 1-game over .500 for the last five years?

The Sox will get a good look at some of the game's best coming to Fenway this week.
