Sox Ping
Gabbard was better for the Sox than Rogah has been for the Yankees.
Race is down to 54 games with the Sox ahead by 8. The Yanks gotten their act in gear the past two months while the Sox have been a few games better than .500. I think the Sox take the division if they go 30-24. Yanks would have to go 39-15 which is a .722 winning %. That looks like it would be hard to do espcially since they have a bunch of games to play with Detroit, the Angels, Cleveland and Seattle and not to mention 6 against the Sox, 9 against Baltimore and 10 against Toronto.
Yanks are still in the hint for the WC though. Looks like the race is going to be a good one for the rest of this year. Sox need some intensity to keep them playing good ball.
I’d be more worried about tampa bay, seems both the sox and yanks don’t fare so well against them sometimes.
the sox did the right thing with gabbard by trading him when his stock was at its highest, and clemens by only offering him what they think he was worth. they did the same thing to damon.
yeah im always doing those “if the sox play .600 ball...” scenarios too, haha. and dont forget the yankees, if they had the wild card spot, would have to play the angels in the ALDS, and you know what that means.
Sox bats need to wake up, the pitching looks good but you have to score more than 1 run to win most games.
The Yankees have to keep hitting the ball since their pitching look worse than ever.
