The Red Sox finished 95-67, with the same record as the New York Yankees.

The red lamp swung, the sudden brakes and stalling
Engine, voices, heads hooded and the cold-nosed gun?”

Into a pit of ink, that the wide sea
Hath drops too few to wash her clean again
And salt too little which may season give
To her foul tainted flesh!”
