The Red Sox will end their season tonight with one last game against the New York Yankees in New Yankee Stadium. First pitch is at 7:05 p.m. EST with broadcasts on NESN, WEEI, and ESPN.
The final Red Sox lineup of the year is a typical one for September. Both Jacoby Ellsbury and Dustin Pedroia will play to save it from complete destitution. The good--no, the great news is that Sox fans probably won't have to deal with the like outside of spring training for a very long time.
Knock on wood, of course. Wouldn't want to be tempting any baseball deities.
