Question was top 3 suprises positive this year in Baseball Team wise.
1.Atlanta (OK because of all the injuries )
2.Washington ( OK )
3.Cleveland ( How many games back )
No mention of SOX at all and concluded by saying the Twins are still going to make a run this year. Sometimes I have to laugh at the nonsense.
maybe the media attention on all the OTHER teams will fade if the sox can put together a 4-5 year run. . . .these guys love the braves b/c they have been a power for 10 years - cleveland should've won at least one WS and was great all through the 90s - twinkies have one the division and played post-season ball a lot of times recently, not to mention puckett viola et al.
Basically, Ozzie is right on target when he talks about us needing a WS win to get any attention. Probably we need 2 WS wins, or at least 1 and then a long sit atop the division. So no matter how well we do this year, the BBTN people* will probably ignore us to the end.
but hey, to BBTN* and Rob Neyer: :finger
* BBTN from L-R = boring, fat, annoying and almost dead.
