The Boston Red Sox just finished a rough part of their schedule of 20 games in 20 days. They posted a record of 13-6.  They have two more instances on their schedule where they have a number of games without a day off.

 They will have another stretch of 20 games in 20 days beginning July 22nd through August 10.  They will have a day off on the 21st of July during that next stretch and their next day off won't be until August 11.

The good part about this is, 14 out of the first 20 games are at home and then they will have a 13 game in 13 days schedule which will begin August 30th through September 11 and that will start off with a series against the Yankees at home and end on the road with a series against the Tampa Bay Rays.  Hopefully, by the time we get to that portion of the schedule, the Red Sox will have clinched a playoff spot...or be close to clinching a playoff spot.

As Dice-K Matsuzaka, it's looking more and more like he's going to have Tommy John surgery.  This hurts him in two ways...he will have to go through rehab up until next season, and it just so happens that next year is his free agent year, so what team is going to want to take a chance on him after he's done with his contract with the Sox.

FOOTBALL NEWS
Adam Scheffter of ESPN Sports, one of their NFL insiders, reported that last week the owners and players got together in a secret meeting to discuss plans to take care of their problems ...involved in the meeting for the owners was Bob Kraft of the Patriots, Jerry Jones of the Dallas Cowboys and John Marra of the Giants.
Some good things came out of the meeting, but they're not disclosing what was said.  If all goes well, the season could start on time. 

Tune in for more updates and check out between 8:20- 8:30 PM tonight http://www.wincam.org
