Until we win 2 or 3 Division Titles in a row, or we show some extended period of success, you should all as Sox fans expect the Twinkies to be the favorite. We have done nothing in the past few years to dissuade that.
Now with that being said, I see no reason why we can't do it this yaer, but understand that until it IS done, Minny will be the heavy favorite to win the Central.
