The Boston Red Sox's terrible July was perfectly summed up in a wild 2-minute blooper reel
The Boston Red Sox entered the month of July with the fourth-best record in the American League. And while the AL East race seemed to be comfortably going the Yankees’ way, Boston was looking like a clear contender for a Wild Card berth.

The month isn’t even over yet, and July has already been an abysmal time for the Red Sox. They’re 5-15 with seven games left in July, and they’ve fallen to three games out of the third Wild Card position.

It’s been so bad that a supercut of the Red Sox botching routine plays fills an entire Twitter video. Seriously, the video just keeps going.
