Red Sox 111 year old record in jeopardy

The Red Sox have the dubious distinction of having the longest losing streak of any of the 4 major Boston sports teams as back in 1906 the Sox lost TWENTY games in a row. Cy Young himself lost 4 of them. Probably a good thing radio had not been invented as one could imagine what "Nuf Ced" Ordway would have been like during that streak.

But that streak is in jeopardy now as the Celtics sit at 14 losses in a row and at this point no game looks easy for them.

With the current pathetic condition of both the Celtics and Bruins most Boston sports fans are now just waiting for the Red Sox to begin spring training in 2 weeks.

In my lifetime I van never recall the total lack of interest in the 2 so called winter teams. The only buzz in town right now is for the Beanpot which will see first round action Monday night at the Garden.
