It's two fold.
1.ESPN doesn't like being wrong. All they did was hype up the Tigers and Indians to start the season, with the Sox in a distant 4th. If they have to be wrong, they hope it's for a good story, aka, the Rays.
2.The Sox are boring to an outsider. I think the general public is bored of Ozzie, and outside of that, there isn't much of a draw. Danks first name John and not Joba, so he's out, Jermaine is incredibly boring to a national audience apparently, and since Quentin wasn't a former heroine addict, he isn't as good as other outfielders.....
Not too mention BA is communist.
