Fresh off a three-game sweep of the Chicago White Sox, the Boston Red Sox are set to continue their winning ways against the New York Mets on Friday … if they can make it.
The Red Sox are reportedly still stuck in Chicago due to multiple plane issues, according to the Boston Globe. The plan if for Friday’s game against the Mets to still occur, per the Globe. That game is scheduled for 7:15 p.m. ET, giving the Red Sox … not much time to take off, land, get to the park and start the contest.

On top of all that, it’s not clear when the team will be able to leave Chicago, per the Globe.
It’s a bad time for the Red Sox to experience friction. The club is playing its best ball of the season. The team enters Friday on a six-game winning streak. It has won 11 of its last 13 games.
Incredibly, that streak started after the team experienced a different traveling issue, one that caused the team to get home around 5 a.m. ET on a game day. The Red Sox were able to shake off the cobwebs of their overnight flight to defeat the New York Yankees later that night. Boston then swept the Yankees in a four-game series before traveling to play the Washington Nationals. The Nationals took two out of three games from the Red Sox during that series, and are the only team to beat the Red Sox in the past two weeks.
