Sox Holding Their Own In Toughest Division

Despite all of the injuries they have sustained, despite the epic collapses (e.g., blowing a 9-0 lead to the Evil Ones), despite inconsistent starting pitching, your Carmine Hose are just five and one-half games from glory. Forget about all the talk of other divisions being "tougher" than the AL East. As we sit today, our division is the only one in Major League Baseball where every team is at or above .500. So, for all the criticism leveled at the team this Spring (including a considerable amount from us), they should be given credit for the turnaround that has them on the cusp of being a credible post-season contender again.
