It has been more than a week since the last MLB game, 35 days since the last Red Sox game and there are 147 days left for Opening Day against the Cleveland Indians (to make the matter worse, there’s an off day after the first game of the season). Even though the Red Sox finished in last place, most of us are excited for the next season thanks to Dave Dombrowski taking over as President of Baseball Operations and the promising futures of players like Mookie Betts, Xander Bogaerts and Eduardo Rodriguez, to name a few.

However, the offseason can be a pain in the butt for some of us. We read rumors that most of the time end up being far from reality and watch every MLB Network special from our favorite team. For a while, that kind of stuff helps us deal with the absence of Major League Baseball, but how can you survive the long days of winter with no Red Sox baseball without turning into Jack Torrance?
