well, it is July 14 and the Saaawx are up 10 games over the Jays and the Spankees. Not bad, not bad at all. However, there are causes for concern in the Red Sox Nation:
- a disappointing 6-9 record since interleague play ended on June 24
- were swept in a 3 game series by the Tigers right before the ASB
- Runs per game scored in June of 4.41 which is exactly equal to the June ERA of 4.41 (not a good sign)
-Manny and Big Papi's power numbers are down big time
Manny: 2007 - 0.288/0.386/0.478 (BA/OBP/SLG), Career - 0.313/0.410/0.595
Papi: 2007 - HR: 14; 2004, 2005, 2006 ( HR Average) - 45
- Youks playing hurt with a quad
- Papi playing on a bum knee which would require surgery after the season
- Schilling on the DL still
On the bright side, the Sox are winning exactly as predicted by the Pythogorean Method (PM) so far. If they score and give up runs at the same pace PM predicts the Sox ending up with 99 wins. I will take that!
