We’re In!

Boston Soul | September 30th 2009

That was one of the most unusual clinchings I have ever seen.  That was because, strangely, we didn’t clinch.  The Rangers clinched for us.  We lost, 8-7, to Toronto, but if the Rangers lost last night, we were officially in.  But the Range read more

All-Star Effort

Boston Soul | July 6th 2009

We won that one.  Thankfully.  Our lead over the Yankees stays at one but like I say, give it a few days and we’ll be back on top.  Lester had a fantastic start.  A fantastic start.  Six and two-thirds innings of work, three walks, nine st read more
