Baseball isn't on until 8:00

The Red Sox are in Texas to start a three game series against the Rangers and then it's over to Florida for a four game series against the Rays.

After those games are complete, everyone goes on a short vacation called the All Star break.

Assuming none of them suffer any injuries over the next seven days, Sale, Kimbrel and Betts will be the representatives for the Red Sox. Between today and July 6th, MLB is letting people vote to fill 5 more roster slots and one of the players on the ballot is Xander Bogaerts so it's possible that the Red Sox will have four players on the AL roster.

It's a pretty good bet that Sale will be the starting pitcher for the American League but that's entirely up to the AL manager, Terry Francona.

• Only in Florida.



• Another reason why I quit playing golf.
