It’s October in Boston and the Red Sox are playing more baseball. Does it get any better than that? Well — with 11 more wins it does...

Paul and Tim recap the end of the season that lead to an American League East Division Championship and wonder if the Red Sox limped into the playoffs or just took their feet off the gas?

We revisit the regular season farewell send off of David Ortiz with all the pomp and circumstance that we have come to expect from the Red Sox. Did they go just a little overboard?

Finally we look forward to the ALDS series against Cleveland and beyond – deep into the October nights – and give our 2016 playoff predictions.

All that and more on this week’s edition of Down by the River.

Starters delivering – check
Bullpen on lock – check
Offense rolling – check
Cy Young favorite – check
MVP favorites – check
Hanley on fire – check
#windancerepeat – over and over and over again

Go figure – the crisp weather is turning the dog days of Summer into Fall and the Red Sox are turning up the heat in the American League East. In fact, turning up the heat might not even do justice to how well this team has played over the past week.

Staring the most important stretch of their schedule in the face, at the top of the heap of a – sure to be – down to the wire pennant race, the Red Sox took this season to a whole ‘nother level. A four game sweep of the Yankees and a body blow to the Orioles and by default the Blue Jays have the Red Sox primed for a Division Championship, a possible home field advantage in the playoffs and a deserved bandwagon of World Series prognostications.

We look back on the week that was and start to look forward to some gold bottle popping and playoff rotations.

Well, we were all hoping for 11 more wins to cap off a wild October swan song for David Ortiz and the 2016 Boston Red Sox — instead we were given a tip of the cap from an all time great after a premature exit to the post-season at the hands of the Cleveland Indians.

Paul and Tim fight through the haunting specter of Andrew Miller and break down what went wrong for the Red Sox vs. Cleveland. The crew takes a step back to eulogize the 2016 Boston Red Sox before setting the stage for the offseason — specifically the news that John Farrell will return as the manager of the 2017 Boston Red Sox (not that in-game managing is all that important anyway).

All that and more on this week’s edition of Down by the River.
