Something like this happens almost every year. An underacheiving team that has nothing to play for anymore plays loose, and rattles off some meaningless W's at the end of the year. They will play spoiler to a few teams, but thats about it.
the fact that they will likely be at or over .500 next week when the sox roll in is an eye-opener, IMO, considering where they were. worst case scenario for us is that they sweep and are only 5-6 games out of first with three 1/2 weeks to go. Still a huge challenge, but not out of the realm of possibility.
