So would you say that the Orioles are a 1st place team?? Because going into today's games, they were in 1st place.
The Sox may be in last place right now, but that doesn't mean that they are a last place team. It's early and they will rebound from their poor start. It's just like after 4 games, if the Orioles started out 4-0 and the Yankees started 0-4. The Yankees are not a worse team than the Orioles.
Just like the Red Sox aren't a worse team than the Blue Jays or Orioles. The top 3 will be the Sox, Rays, and Yanks. If the Sox can keep pitching, they'll score plenty of runs to win a ton of games before the reinforcements come back. Then, once Ells, Crawford, Bailey, and Ross get back, this team will be in great shape and will make the PS this year.
