It should be an interesting end to the season. Yanks finished a soft spot of their schedule. I was surprised boston didnt add a bigger bat for the stretch run. Still time.

They have the talent, just going through a slump at the plate. Yankees are clearly the best team in the AL as is the Phillies in the NL. The Sox need to just make it in and they instantly be one of the favorites too, along with the Yanks, who are a lock to make it in as are the Phillies.
I've loved the Red Sox all my life and hung through some tragic beats. I have to say losing to the Rays in Game 7 last year was one of the toughest. They looked so out of the series after playing horrible in games 3 and 4, then miraculously won games 5 and 6 only to get beat in Game 7. Being that close to a try at their 3rd title in 5 years is heartbreaking. 1986 was awful but I was at the age (16) where other things mattered more.
Yup, going to be a fantastic finish. One of my favorite sports time of year is late Aug/early Sep...pennant races materialize, last week of Saratoga, the start of Belmont, and the US Open in tennis.
