#redsox — Public Fediverse posts

Here's to a great week ahead for the #RedSox and even better one for you, fans.

That's all for now, fans.

Thanks for following today's #RedSox win with @RSNStats.

Enjoy the off-day and the rest of your weekend.

Now, almost unbelievably, we're off to the final regular season road trip of the season. #RedSox will face #Rangers for 3 games then #Rays for 3 more before heading home to finish the season hosting 3 games apiece for #Guardians and then #Cubs. Plenty of action ahead.
