Boston is 43-28 and are currently trotting an outfield of Daniel Nava, Darnell McDonald and Bill hall...and winning. They have the deepest pitching staff, best bullpen and are leading the league in offensive production. This despite missing Ellsbury and Cameron for most of the season and Beckett for quite a few starts.
And unlike Tampa they may add at the deadline. You are so biased against them that you confuse wishful thinking with reality.

chuck i'm a realist , i look at the scehdule , the hard part of their season is the next 48 games , going .500 over those 48 games will be tough and just going .500 will probably lose ground to the yanks and rays over the same time peroid because the schedule is easier for those 2 teams , the yankees have the easiest by far over this stretch
so after these 48 games boston will have done well if they are within 6 - 7 games of yankees and rays as well
good luck chuck it starts tonight in colorado , my guess this week is a 3 - 3 road trip vs NL west teams
