I've really never thought the division was in play. Yanks injuries got them too deep, and even after their ASB run, the sox had too many games left with Tampa, Chicago, etc. If the Yankees didn't trot out a no name rookie in 42% of their games the first two months, I believe, at the very least, they'd be tied with boston right now.
We'll have to see if the sox hitting is them heating up or just playing the worst team in the AL.
BF makes some valid points, but the exchanges you guys have had are indicitive of the typical Getbig shit that happens in the other threads. It didn't seem like that stuff came into this forum, but I haven't read too many threads.
