The past five days have seen tragedy, blowout losses, bad calls and shocking news in the Boston sports pages. I’m not trying to compare and conflate real world tragedies and the ultimately inconsequential outcomes of professional sporting events. But the last five days have not been much fun as a Boston sports fan.

Hopefully bluer skies lie ahead for everyone. Though if it’s cloudy in Toronto, they can close the roof at the Sky Dome and Chris Sale can still strike out 20 tomorrow. That would be okay too.
