Even still. At the end of this night, barring a comeback (and if that happens, praise Jesus), we will be tied for first place. I see the Yankees winning 58-60% of their remaining games. I see the Red Sox winning around 55-56%. If a move is made, that will change.
I'm not making any groundbreaking statements here. We need to make a move, and then I will feel better about our chances. Whether it is Halladay or a bat, the team will be good enough to give me confidence in an AL East title this year. I don't have that confidence right now, and haven't for awhile ever since Lowell went down.
