We'll see, hopefully something happens and the whole red sox teams gets a VD? Yea but the red sox momentum hasn’t been on their side of late.

I also think it'll come down to our 6 games against the Sawx. If we can take 5 of 6, we're in with a shout. And remember, we took 4 of the last 6 vs them, and it should've been 5 of 6 iirc, and that was when we were playing poorly and they were hot. Also, we have a rough couple of weeks, but then I believe our September schedule is even easier than theirs. If we're w/in 4 or 5 come September 1, which we should be if we stomp them at the Stadium at the end of the month, I really like our chances.

Unfortunately, the Yanks have 23 games left against contenders, while the Red Sox only have 13 (although they do have another 4 games against the Twins). They play the D-Rays 12 times. While I think we can put a scare into the Sox, I doubt we can steal the division. But miracles do happen. I was looking at this last night, too.
