We are in a deep hole because we were bad in the early season, really bad. This team has the 4th best record in the league since May 7th, and they've won what, like 11 of the last 16? And I'll take our pitching over DET's any day.
People seem to assume that Detroit will keep winning. They really aren't some juggernaut. Obviously, if DET contiues to play .700 baseball like the have the past week or two, the Sox have no chance. But I just don't see that happening.
I'm not saying the Sox WILL win the division, I think their chances are like 10-20%. But they sure as heck aren't zero.
Well I'm certainly not going to make the mistake of saying that something has a 0 percent chance of happening...again but ya, it's not happening.
