House Hunting Part 5

Published on August 30, 2005

The Texas Rangers looked helpless last night as the Red Sox go on to sweep the series. Gabe Kapler hustling from first to third on a bloop single, shows the heart and pride that the Sox are playing with right now. August is the month in baseball where the men are separated from the boys [...]
