This stuff has a way of evening itself out and I'm sure at one point we'll have our rotation pitching like they're able, our lineup will be hitting at their normal clip and we'll be playing good defense and we'll still lose some games. But, it's been a lot of fun to see this team win 7 of their last 9 while most of our best hitters and pitchers were struggling. I think this team is a force to be reckoned with. With the improved defense, I don't see any reason why Lester, Beckett and Lackey can't post ERA's in the mid to low 3's and if our offense even scores 800 runs, we should be a 95+ win team.
I've been a Red Sox fan for a while. I've seen plenty of horrible teams who I knew had no shot at making a postseason run, even early in the season. This is not one of them. This is a special team.
