As they are with Tampa.....even there own media has been picking against them with the realities of 1) Papi's wrist requiring him to literally start a swing before he sees the ball...(not exactly a recipe for success at the plate) and 2) Lowell is done for the year. They can call it "ineligible for the division series of they want but Mike Lowell likely needs a repair. (don't underestimate the potential for Lowell to develop avascular necrosis of the hip with this which would end his career ala Bo Jackson should he go on to develop this.
The Rays are the favorite buy because of the nutty 2-3-2 format the Sox have a chance if they can steal on in Florida. Rays in 6 to face the Dodgers and I hope I am wrong...
