While Springsteen & Co. rocked the sellout Fenway Park crowd on Tuesday and Wednesday night, the Red Sox were busy losing two straight to the Baltimore Orioles. It’s been and up-and-down year for the Sox to say the least, plagued by inner turmoil and a dislike for the manager.
Fans of Bruce, concertgoers and people within hearing distance of Fenway Park took to Twitter the past two nights to draw comparisons between Springsteen and the E Street Band and the struggling, underachieving Red Sox.
Here’s a small taste of what’s being said:
Can we just sign Springsteen and let him play Fenway 81 nights.

To keep it in perspective: The Red Sox have compiled a home record of 29-34 this season, while Springsteen and the E Street Band are 2-0!
