Even if the Red Sox weren't 22-29, and even if I hadn't already proclaimed all hope dead (as I am wont to do), this game feels a bit like an afterthought following John Henry's comments. Like the news of the day has come and gone and all that's left is to see whether we fill in an L or a W in the schedule tonight.
But they'll play the game all the same, weather permitting. So here we are to watch it.
Also, just in case, I'm sorry if there's a Torii Hunter photo on this thing. I tried to make it go away pre-publishing, but I'm not completely convinced it has. I don't want that any more than you do, trust me.
