It was record breaking weekend for the Boston Red Sox this weekend as they put up at least 10 runs in every game for the first time since 1950. They also scored 46 runs while giving up just a measly 7. Julian “Freddy Krueger” Tavarez pitched well in another spot-start as he shutdown the White Sox with his sinker. Bobby Kielty gave Manny the day off and put up Manny-type numbers in the game. He has been such an improvement over Wily Mo Peña that I really think Theo will sign him for 2008. While the Red Sox are resting today, let’s take a look at the headlines and happenings from the Boston area and Chicago media on this less humid morning along the shores of Connecticut.
