Tough loss last night, nice win this afternoon.

The Red Sox lost last night in what was a great game of baseball. They lost in the tenth inning but managed to hold their own against what is probably the best team in the American League right now.

This afternoon, there was no mistaking who was going to win that game and the Red Sox held the Astros to just one run over all nine innings.

The Astros were in first place in the league and right now they are tied for first. The Red Sox are still in last place in the ALEast but they are not in last place in the American League.

It's beginning to look like the Red Sox might actually be playing baseball.

It's the Fourth of July which means we, as Americans, get to celebrate our nations Declaration of Independence from the British Crown.

Here in Massachusetts, where John Hancock, Sam Adams and John Adams all committed treason by signing that declaration, we aren't really allowed to celebrate it like Tom Jefferson suggested we celebrate it - with fireworks.

Oh well.
