The undisputed OG of the Tarps Off movement is Rick Melanson of Gardner, MA. In Game 5 of the 2008 ALCS at Fenway Park, the Red Sox were down 7-0 to the Rays in the 7th inning with little hope to stay alive in the series. The park was dead quiet when Melanson suddenly rose from his seat along the right field line and ripped off his shirt, shocking the crowd into action. Inspired by his flabby undulations, the Sox began one of the biggest comebacks in MLB history, resulting in an improbable 8-7 win to send the series back to Tampa Bay. #tarpsoff

CORA! CORA! CORA!
The Attack on Alex Cora

[The Boston Globe @BostonGlobe]

Alex Cora wasn't the problem with this Red Sox team, writes @Dan_Shaughnessy. It's the 26 guys that John Henry and Craig Breslow gave him. https://t.co/q1mb76dfs2

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

The Boston Red Sox fired manager Alex Cora, hitting coach Peter Fatse, bench coach Rámon Vazquez and game-planning coach Jason Varitek, sources tell ESPN.

While the Red Sox won today, they are 10-17 and in last in the American League East. Massive change is coming in Boston.

The new NESN scorebug is pretty awesome. You can easily see all the game details, the ad banner, and even the batter. #redsox

@stoolpresidente More importantly, start dressing like an adult. Enough with the Walmart t-shirts.

@MikeMutnansky @Hogdale_ Hogdale go home. Loud, vulgar, and uninteresting is no way to go through life. You're no Vin Scully.
