The Boston Red Sox have been struggling as of late. Just coming off a west coast road trip that they finished blow 500 in, it’s time for the Red Sox to turn it around. The Red Sox do not have a favorable schedule as they play a lot on the road. When the Red Sox are at home, they need to win. Being on the road for most of the end of the year will be difficult but if they want to make the playoffs, they need to start winning.The Red Sox had a difficult loss last night to the Yankees in which they had the game won. It was 4-1 in the seventh inning and the bullpen did not keep that lead. This isn’t the first time this has happened and it can’t continue. The bullpen needs to shut down the opposing lineup down.

There are many players on the Red Sox that have unperformed this season. Guys like David Price, Clay Buchholz, Drew Pomeranz and many other needs to step up. The Red Sox have a lot of talent and they need to start to use it. Boston is still holding on too the second wildcard spot but if they keep losing to team they should beat; they will find themselves watching October baseball from home. This is David Ortiz last season, give him one last October run. The AL East is the toughest division in baseball, the Red Sox need to start wining before the gap gets even bigger. The Red Sox are a young team that are made for October. The time is now for the Red Sox.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
