Still in first place

The Lightning are on an eight game winning streak and they are creeping up on the Bruins in the division race. If they win again tonight, they will be one point behind the Bruins.

The Bruins are off until Saturday so that means I'm watching DVRs and bad television.

In Red Sox news, they have finally appointed a manager. Well, an "interim" manager.

They gave the job to the bench coach, Ron Roenicke, pending the outcome of the MLB investigation around possible cheating in 2018.

None of this matters. What matters is that Brock Holt is still not on the team.

I like Holt, I think they need to offer Holt a job. Holt is the only MLB player to ever hit for the cycle in the playoffs. He plays every position except pitcher or catcher. His teammates love him. The fans love him.

There is no reason to not make him a reasonable offer.
