He's Only Happy When It Rains

To paraphrase a commenter from many moons ago - "If there wasn't a losing team, Shank would have nothing to wrote about."

Lo and behold:

Frontrunning stat-padding Sox are great when it's 16-2, 11-2.
It's those 1-0, 2-1 games that they can't seem to win.

In last four games, Sox outscored last-place A's and Padres, 28-7.
Won two, lost two.
Run differential means jack.

Reaction is just about what you'd expect:

@Dan_Shaughnessy yes, but this is very old news... been this way all season.

@Dan_Shaughnessy The Sox may be front-runners but you are definitely a bottom-feeder

@Dan_Shaughnessy 16-20 in 1-run games, TOR is 15-22

@Dan_Shaughnessy sweet sample size, bro

@Dan_Shaughnessy actually not true. Take a look at mlb standings, pretty much follows run differential.

@Dan_Shaughnessy According to W-L, Sox are only as good as A's and SD. According to run diff, they are better. Which one is the truth?

Don't bother Shank with a question like that - he has an agenda to push!

Bonus soundtrack with respect to the title is here. These lyrics are pure Shaughnessy.
