The Boston Red Sox have not just revived their playoff chances so much as they have loaded them into a rocket, skipped the countdown and shipped them directly to the International Space Station. Since I said that, the Boston Red Sox have won 23 of 29, also known as 79 percent. This is the opportunity of a lifetime for Craig Breslow to save his reputation and endear himself to Red Sox fans for a generation. Right-handed hitting is a must with Curtis Mead tragically breaking his wrist two plate appearances into his Red Sox career. There is, of course, the reality that the Red Sox core group is relatively young, and blowing up the farm for 30-somethings would be bad business.
