"All the drama. All the highs. All the lows. All the emotions.........the 2025 season comes down to these next six days, folks. We will know the fate of the Boston Red Sox's Wild Card bid by the end of the weekend. In an attempt to try and bring some levity into what ought to be a stressful week, why don't we bring in some holiday cheer? Maybe the spirit of the holiday season can rub off on us at the end of the baseball season."
"Here's how we'll do it: I'll put in a section to represent each individual outcome for the final six Red Sox games (their first win, their first loss, their second win, etc.). When that outcome does come around, scroll down to its corresponding section and "open up the calendar"-AKA, read the section. Or just read the entire thing now and waste the surprise as the calendar continues to progress. I dunno, do what you want."
"Speaking of those Motor City Kitties: we're rooting for them, right? They're playing the Cleveland Guardians-the hottest team in baseball as they've been making a mad dash to try and sneak into the dance-in a three-game set to begin the week of destiny. We have the tiebreaker over Cleveland, as our own Matthew Gross pointed out the other day, but the Tigers could take the tiebreaker over us if they win even one game at Fenway this weekend."
The 2025 season hinges on the next six days as the Boston Red Sox's Wild Card fate will be known by the end of the weekend. An Advent-calendar approach lists a section for each possible outcome across the final six games, with readers opening the section that matches each result. One game already occurred, and attention turns to the upcoming home series against the Detroit Tigers. The Tigers face the Cleveland Guardians, and Detroit winning at Fenway could alter tiebreakers. A Red Sox series victory against Toronto would help, while Red Sox wins remain the top priority.
