If Johan goes on a tear like last year, maybe.
I still say the Sox hit a skid somewhere and come back to earth.:dancefool

I think the sox end up with 93-96 wins so do the math.:103631605

hope you're right pancho. i have a fairly large wager on the twins winning the central. looks like a loser but, i am not ready to give in just yet. obviously, the head-to-head games are huge.

no no no



twins have less than a 0.5% chance this year of catching Chicago.

no hitting bad defense compared to past years.

On july 19 1978 the RED SOX had a 14 game lead on the Yankees, we all know what happened.


It will be remembered as the Boston Massacre of 1978. On July 19, the Red Sox held an ultra-comfy 14-game lead over the Yankees in the AL East; a late-July crumble reduced the lead to 6½ games on Aug. 1; by mid-September, Boston trailed New York by 3½ games, a remarkable 17½ game reversal.



This swing by Bucky Dent sealed Boston's doom in 1978.
"It isn't the biggest El Foldo of them all," wrote Thomas Boswell in the Washington Post. "But it's close."


The Red Sox, as you probably know, managed to come back in late September and force a one-game playoff, but were done in by the (gulp) heroics of Bucky Dent.


Reggie Jackson, never one to shy away from taking credit, told the Post, "We played great, but we didn't win it. They lost it. If they'd played .500 the last half of the season, we'd never have caught them."

i have some minnesota futures also, if they can pick up a 3rd baseman, and the team starts hitting, its possible ( just not probable).

No chance...Sox are for real this year, i think they will steal a closer out of some team too, MAYBE Wagner from Philly...
