The Red Sox and the Blue Jays begin a three game series Friday night in Toronto. I would be easy to make this THE BIG SHOWDOWN SERIES in the AL East … but with such a tight race and so many teams involved you can’t really take any one series and say it is THE BIG ONE. There are going to be big ones right down to the end of the season, which is amazingly just a little over three weeks away …

High school prognostication time … WEEK TWO .. . I struggled to a very ordinary 10-6 in Week One … hope to do better this time around.
