According to the MLB standings, The Red Sox are only 6-12 against teams that are better than .500. Shockingly (I know this is about the AL East), but the maybe the AL East isn't presently the beast it usually is. The Central which has been lousy for a while appears to be much stronger. All but one team are over .500. Big change. -
Yep, Holliday is still scuffling a bit. Mayo is going to have to kick down the door for him to push Westburg. There have got to be teams out there looking to poach Norby. Can’t imagine he is still here at the deadline. -
He is one of my favorite guys on the team. So happy for him. He didn’t moan when he got sent down last year. He was grinding over the winter to get better and is working with someone on the mental side. Just a great story and now a guy that has forced his way into the rotation.

He is a great story. We will have to continue to make room for him because he is the 90% outcome for many behind him.

I think Cal's record was able to happen because of a time in O's history when there was no strong manager. I doubt Cal's streak would have made it to one season if he had played his whole season under Weaver. Weaver was way ahead of his time on matchups, platoons and resting players. The bigger thing about Cal's streak, imo was that it was allowed to happen, where it took on a life of it's own, dwarfing the team. I'm not diminishing the feat, but there's rarely a player that plays 162 games in a year now. It's just recognized that people wear down and need rest. I want to say to that probably the 5 players behind Cal on the streak list did things to basically cheat and prolong their streak especially Gehrig, where he would hit once and then not play the rest of the game.
