The NFL season kicks off this evening. Many of you wrote Stitches about how The Post, last Sunday, mangled the top 100 all-time Giants and Jets. LT and Broadway Joe were predictably 1-2. But readers voiced anger that both Mark Sanchez (buttfumble) and David Tyree (helmet catch) were left out. Agreed, but what about Victor Cruz, Chad Pennington and Joe Pisarcik?

The Red Sox have not folded the tent. The defending champs may finish 15 games over .500 and fail to make the postseason. Injuries to starting pitchers Nathan Eovaldi, David Price and, most recently, Chris Sale, have hampered their title defense. Eovaldi has been slow to return to form following elbow surgery. He struck out eight Angels in four innings last week, allowing a single run. Will his progression be slowed by the mighty Twins lineup? Maybe. But the Red Sox will see Martin Perez, who was bitten by the offensively challenged Tigers for eight runs in a disastrous 2²/₃ innings last week. Play 20 units on the Red Sox.

Aaron “NO! NO!” Nola spotted the Reds a 5-0 lead after two innings. The Phillies came back to tie the game, only to lose 8-5. Joey Votto went 3-for-4 with a homer for the Reds. Streak’s over. Down -496 lonborgs.
