It is four in a row for the Boston Red Sox - four losses that is. This half of the season has started off worse than the beginning half and it appears that frozen bats is the problem. Having frozen sticks in the summer is usually a treat (popsicles, creamsicles), but ice cold baseball bats is certainly not a treat while pursing a leadership position in the American League. Because of today's loss to the Texas Rangers, Boston does not win the series, does not have the best record in the American League and, most importantly, does not lead the AL East. The mantra is on hold. An intense and sustain hitting heat wave is needed by the Red Sox in order to regain the first position. The current road trip ends tomorrow and let's hope the Boston bats become warm enough to leave Rangers Ballpark with a decisive win. That would be a treat.
