SPORTING GOODS

After noting the Sox' weekend debacle in Anaheim, I can't help thinking that the Globe's Dan Shaughnessy might be a wee overconfident:

[W]hy is this not a matter of concern in Red Sox Nation? Because the Angels can't beat the Red Sox in October, that's why.

If ever there was a kiss of death, Shaughnessy's column might be it. (Now that I'm no longer reading the Globe on a daily basis, regular programming can continue.)
