Look around both leagues. The Rays are playing way above even some the best teams in history.
There will be a correction. The Sox have talent, pitching and hitting. Fielding is suspect. 91 games ain't bad. And if they exceed that by a mere 4 games, then they're in. And the play-offs are a whole different issue. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tom Salemi Sent: Tuesday, May 25, 2010 11:17 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Two games behind Yankees Hey, Theo called it a bridge year, not me. I just quoted the guy. I'm still not convinced this team is very good. Drew hasn't missed his obligatory 20-game stretch yet. I'm not sure Papi can keep this up, but I hope he can. Varitek is not going to finish the season with a 1.000-plus OPS. The bullpen is dicey and I'm pretty sure our starters aren't going to go into the eighth inning most games. Maybe Dice-K has found his groove, but he'll have to fight his history. Buccholz is better than I thought. Lester will be better than he is. Beckett, who knows. Same for Lackey. Maybe he'll end up on the DL as well. For the record, I'm not miserable. I'm just a fan who has concerns. I'm not sure why you happy folks have to dump on those of us who disagree. I'm not critical of anyone else who thinks highly of the team as long as they're intellectually honest and hold consistent opinions. Let's see how the season plays out.

Our pitching has been the worst in the league, but it's not REALLY the worst. There's a big correction coming (or now begun). I've been amazed at how many people gave up on the season sometime in mid April. Steve O On Tue, May 25, 2010 at 7:11 AM, Beaudoin, John <[email protected]> wrote: A convert?
