Picture Tells the Story: You know how play-by-play announcers sometimes go silent during a big moment of the game, preferring to let the pictures tell the story?


Well, that’s what I’m going to do regarding Coco Crisp’s catch last night. No need to describe it…simply a fantastic catch at a huge point in the game.


The Sox have now won 12-in a row and have gone 16-consecutive games without an error, tying a major league record. Along with making the routine plays, Boston’s Boys of Summer are routinely making spectacular plays, and it’s really helping the pitching staff out. You have to go back to the 1975 team to recall one that’s so good defensively, and this one might be better because Rick Burleson couldn’t hold a candle to Alex Gonzalez.


What are your thoughts on the current winning and errorless streaks? How huge was that play by Crisp? Did the momentum from that catch lead directly to David Ortiz’ insurance home run?
