A Thought on Red Sox History

Doesn't it seem as if an inordinate number of real Red Sox skullcrushing bad stuff happens when they're in Arlington, Texas playing the Rangers. Humiliating sweeps, losses like last night's, etc.? Kansas City used to be a trip to the abandoned amusement park inhabited by the masked slasher, too, but then the Royals got too horrible for even fate to help them.

I am using memory alone here, rather than the research wonders of the Internet. But my recollection is strong that from the days of Reggie Cleveland to the here and now, Texas is where Red Sox pitchers go to suffer their worst professional breakdowns.
