There were no sightings of Positive Force, but someone “de-funked” Boston sports last night.
For the few of you who stumbled upon this site a few months ago, please forget what you may have seen. Things looked good to launch, until we quickly realized that our site’s design wasn’t going to hold up to a year’s worth of Boston Red Sox news and highlights.
After a couple sleepless nights, we decided to shut down the shop, and redesign from the ground up!
