When you see the Sox able to actually do that thing that teams that win do, grab a lead, you feel like you're in a good place.

Especially since you could argue the Sox...

Their biggest offseason move was going out and getting someone who could close games out.

I remember thinking, this is a perfect move, Sir Anthony Dominguez.

We're going to bring him in because guess what?

If the Sox are ready to win a little bit more than they did last year, they now have someone who could be responsible for the final three outs.

And if not, hey, they can just flip them at the deadline and continue to add to their treasure trove of middling to just above middling prospects.

And to above middling, just like in that range.

No superstar prospects from a lot of these deals that we've seen so far.

So imagine my...

Surprise, or maybe lack of surprise.

When Sir Anthony Dominguez comes in and just gives up bomb, loads bases, gives up runs, and I'm like, is this what we're really doing?

And Junior Caminero, who is known to have put a ball or two into the seats, you find out that before the game he called his mom and told her, hey, I'm going to hit a home run for you.

One of those things.

Yeah, and then he's like, thank you for assisting me in my present to my mother.

And meanwhile, Sox fans are yelling, mother something else.

Norman.

It's just bad.

It's really bad, and it's probably their worst loss of the season because in a lot of these games, you just didn't feel like they had a chance because they're getting shut out or they're only scoring one or two runs, but you had to leave late.

I can't have this type of loss anymore.
