The Sox have a consistently solid lineup all the way through, with what is probably the best pitching in baseball, and what is one of the best defenses in baseball. This is just before the season on paper kinda stuff, but if you think about it, they can't continue to underachieve like this all season. I know it's a logical fallacy, but at the same time, it's only logical that they'd rebound.
It's 10 games into the season, I'd wait until at least half the season was up before saying that we have no chance.
As far as my "other favorite team" goes, that's beside the point really. We have mediocre pitching really, Liriano was never expected to pitch as well as he has so far, Pavano looked like he was the same way, then he gets rocked. Baker got knocked pretty good on opening day.
I never really sweat it until about half a season's up.
