Sox are still above .500, so we got that going for us.

Interesting trivia today. . . On this date in 1917, Babe Ruth was the starting pitcher for Boston against the Washington Senators. He walked the first batter of the game. Ruth argued that the the final pitch had been a strike and was ejected from the game. Reliever Ernie Shore replaced Ruth and retired the next consecutive 26 batters. The only base runner (the recipient of Ruth's walk) was thrown out trying to steal second. Shore essentially pitched a perfect game, but doesn't get credit for it, because he wasn't the starting pitcher.
