Welp, the Sox's 15-game win streak ended, but they tied the 1946 team for the longest streak in franchise history. Just this month, they went from an afterthought to a legit contender. I felt like I couldn’t mention the streak because I was convinced I'd jinx it.

My irrational superstitions may be questionable, but this one? I can feel it in my bones. Metric plays Boston on Monday and I’m manifesting a win for you.

MEET THE DRUMMER BEHIND BOSTON’S SOUND

For more than two decades, Jonathan Ulman has been one of the busiest drummers in Boston. An eight-time Boston Music Award winner, he's played with hundreds of artists, built a nationally recognized career, and teaches the next generation of talent at Berklee. We talked to him about learning songs on the fly, the local venue misses most and the songs he'd choose to soundtrack our city.
