    Boss of the week: 

    Philip Humber

    Humber threw 96 pitches, striking out the mariners nine times, drawing five ground outs and 13 fly outs. Humber was an unlikely candidate for this achievement, but he made it look effortless

        This was quite a weekend in Boston.  Cheers for the 100-year celebration of Fenway Park turned to a chorus of boos when the Red Sox lost for the ninth time in 13 games. As an encore, the Red Sox let a 9-0 lead slip away in the latter innings on Saturday.
