Beating the worst teams in baseball on a regular basis will give a team a great won/lost record. The SOX do that much better than the Yankems. The Yankems have a better record than the SOX in beating the better teams. Unfortunately, the s*** teams the SOX whip regularly won't be anywhere near the playoffs. I believe the SOX's best record against a contending team is the Yankems at 8-5. Hopefully, this is a slump they're going thru and not an inability to beat the better teams. If it truly is a slump, better now than at the end of September.
