Football and baseball tonight.

Tonight the Patriots will play their final pre-season game against the Giants and next Thursday they will kick off the football season when they go to Missouri and play the Chiefs.

Since tonights game will be played by third-stringers, I'll probably switch over to every once in a while but my main focus will be the Red Sox.

⧫

The Red Sox are in New York to start a four game series against the struggling Yankees. Hopefully the Red Sox can win all four games and put a lock on the ALEast.

I'm also hoping that the Indians lose all four of their games to the Tigers because that would give the Red Sox a pretty good shot at home field advantage during the playoffs.
