Guys overperforming their career numbers?

Part of the reason the Sox won that championship was because of Cliff Pollitte and Neal Cotts, two guys that had great seasons that sucked before and after that season. The Sox needed 3 closers that year, most teams that go through 3 closers don't make the playoffs. The dropped 3rd strike, the HBP that was actually a foul ball, etc.

And the team that missed the playoffs the following season and lost 90 games 2 seasons later.

It's baseball, you can luck your way into a championship. See: 2005 Sox and 2006 Cardinals.

Smoke and mirrors.

You can't win if you don't score.

Cleveland has had a much more difficult schedule so far. Wait until August and September when both teams are healthy and the Sox are playing Oakland and the Yankees while Cleveland is playing KC and Minnesota.

The Sox are not really good, that's where we disagree. They're winning the division by ownership forfeit. The offense is terrible most nights, and so is the bullpen. Rodon/Lynn/Giolito have been carrying the team.

It's not that Cleveland is as good as the Sox, as it is the Sox are almost as bad as Cleveland. Never forget 2005. They had a 15 game lead on August 1 and it was shrunk to 0.5 by September 15th.

Two hard hit balls in a row+Benintendi up.

ffs..........

WTF Garcia????

^^^^^^^

My lord what awful swings.....

I think he's only walked once or twice since the ASB. EDIT: That's #3. Had a .292 OBP since the break going into tonight.

WTF ump????

^^^^^^

Brutal way to lose the no-hitter. He slipped on the mound.

7-9 isnt the problem. It's the 1-6 outside of Vaughn. They've all gone cold simultaneously.

Bunch of overrated bums, the lot of them.

Not lately. One is hurt and the other is swinging at everything. I've never seen Moncada as impatient at the plate as he's been the last 7-10 days or so.

Rally Engel! WTF Abreu????

Playing switch. One thumb in their mouth and another up their ass. You get the picture.
