New House Of Horrors For The Red Sox?

After taking two-out-of-three in the hellhole that is Tropicana Field, I thought the Sox would be able to win anywhere. Then they traveled to Chicago where they have taken two giant steps backwards. This is a sub-500 team in a crappy division taking the Red Sox to school. They have pissed me off to the point that I am calling the division race over. Eight-and-a-half back when they...
