We finished our last tough game of the season (sans the one time we face Halladay) with a 3 game L column lead. We showed once again that we are the sox daddies by taking 9 of the last 12 including the last 4 of 6 in the fens. Right now the Guardians and the Angels are tied for the 2nd best record in the league and if things break right for us, we could be starting our series in the Jake while you guys start yours in Fenway knowing you have a cross country trip or two in your future. Either way, the WC is in our hands, we have 13 games left, 6 against Baltimore without any of their pitchers, 3 in Tampa against the hapless Rays, and 4 home vs Toronto who have already packed it in. If we lose this, it would be one hell of a collapse.
Oh and btw. Saying that the WC is not over is akin to saying the division is not over as we are only 4 back in the L column for the division while the Tigers are 3 back. Very similar circumstances. Both teams leading said races have cupcakes the rest of the way and it would take a monumental collapse to see a change at the top.
