Red Sox losing already

The Rays got three runs in the top of the first, according to my phone.
Maybe I'm not missing anything.

Foolish Ken Johnson?

Republican Ken Johnson, an ardent Red Sox fan, got a call this week from his brother.
His brother was quite excited because, he told the prospective mayor, he'd come up with two tickets to the opening game of the World Series at Fenway tonight.
And guess who he invited along?
Yes, that's right, Ken Johnson.
But the GOP standard bearer here in Bristol said he couldn't go.
Instead, he'll be at the mayoral forum at the Little League complex starting at 7 p.m. tonight, squaring off with Democrat Art Ward instead of staring at the Green Monster with his brother.
Now that's dedication. Or something.
I'll be at the forum, too, and plan to do some live blogging there. Tune in this evening to see whether Ken Johnson made the right call.

Game 7

We know what Red Sox fans will be doing tonight: praying that Dice-K proves he was worth even a fraction of his big payday by mowing down some Indians at Fenway.
For what it's worth, and to keep this blog on topic, Republican Ken Johnson is a Red Sox fan. Democrat Art Ward is a Yankees fan.
But I suspect Ward is a good enough politician that he'll be rooting at least half-heartedly for Boston to win tonight. There aren't many Indians fans in Bristol.
