Some may be too young to remember but for 86 years a World Championship eluded the Boston Red Sox. 13 years and 3 championships later some of us at a certain age still have a tough time wrapping our heads around that.
This past weekend, the backbone of that 2004 team that broke the curse as well as the others in '07 and '13 and arguably the greatest player that ever played for the local nine had his number retired.
What may have gone under the radar was on June 18th the last of the '04 team may have pitched his last game. Bronson Arroyo of the Cinncinatti Reds lasted only 3 innings against the Dodgers. He has been shut down with shoulder soreness. He plans to remain with the team for the remainder of the year but he has stated that this is likely it.
In other apprpoes of nothing, Albert Pujols is just 4 GIDPs away from breaking Cal Ripken's all time record. We'll need to keep an eye on that.
