The Bigger Picture - Where We've Gone Wrong This Year

Expectations are a dangerous thing. They can dictate our decision-making processes well into the future and prevent us from seeing things as they truly are.

Marwin Gonzalez Has Three-Hit Day Thursday

Boston Red Sox utility man Marwin Gonzalez stepped in at shortstop Thursday, and had himself a nice game, going 3-for-4 with a walk, an RBI, and two runs scored.
