Really. I'm not surprised by anything like this any more. I wasn't surprised by the 4 game comeback when down 0-3 against the Yankees in 2004. Ask Ralph. I called 8 in a row and I'd never said anything like that before. Sometimes you just know a team will do it. And I'm feeling pretty good about this team. Not quite like I felt in 2004, but still pretty good.

That's built into the 5.5%. Let's put it this way. If the Red Sox won the division, I would be VERY surprised.
