Burnetts pitching better, Joba looks like he can give us 2 postseason starts and not hurt us, CC is pitching better than anybody in baseball, ARod is hot, etc. It gets quiet around here when there is nothing to complain about.
Whoa. WAIT. Let's not get Crazy after the Yankees whipped Dice-K (6+ ERA 3-6) and Byrd (who came out of retirement to replace Wakefield).
This isn't quite the same as whipping Pedro Martinez in his prime.
Truth is, the Red Sox don't give a **** about the AL title. They're just as comfortable facing the Angels as they are the AL Central.
If you're comfortable facing the Angels in the opening round, I got 2 different years of post season failure to show you.
