I'm not the only one who has declared that the Red Sox postseason hopes are dead. That it's the end of a really improbable dream. In fact, the end may have already passed us by, at least a week and a half ago. But the Sox and we are still hanging on. Barely.
Even now, in the first week of September, the Mets find themselves well within reach of the Wild Card. They are a half of a game behind, have won six in a row, and are 8-2 in their last 10 games.
We need a talisman, right now. We don't have time to wait around for a gift from nature, like the Rally Squirrel whose multiple on-field appearances helped the Cardinals win the World Series in 2011.
Let's take action, like Craig Counsell, and get proactive here. Do they need me to do something? Consider it done. I'm not going to wear the same pair of underwear à la Jim Leyland or Tigers hitting coach Lloyd McClendon in 2011 ... just because.
