Assuming the Sox lose at least one more to Cleveland, they are 4 games out and would have to be 5 games better than them over the other 29 for us and 31 for them. 

No bitching about the lack of game 163. Everyone knew what the rules were this year.

Its still an uphill battle but it’s no longer a mountain. I’m just 3 games.

Cleveland is going to struggle down the stretch after losing both civale and plesac

The Sox are on another streak, but they've done this before only to slide back again. I won't believe that much until they do this for a couple of weeks. This division is as bad as it was in the early to mid 1980s. If the Sox are really any good, they should prove it and take this horse s%*# division going away.

They need to finally go on a 10ish game winning streak.

There is no such thing as an easy schedule for us.

Absolutely correct. How many times have we heard this, this season? Then the Sox go out and do things like lose 10 of 19 to the Royals.

Sox will win this division. It ain't no guess.

I don't think the 'easy schedule' matters as this side has shown its ability to lose to bad teams all season, what is more important is that in the games since TLR stepped aside the team seems to have more zip and drive. If that continues then anything is possible and this frustrating season may yet end in a post season.
