Food for thought: as of this morning, the only team from the AL East with a winning record this month is Baltimore (15-12).
ReplyDeleteThe MFY are 12-14, the Sox and Jays are 12-15, and the FKR are 12-16 in June.
As unlikely as it may seem, with the ENTIRE division floundering at the halfway point, the Sox still have a shot at winning the division.
FWIW, the Sox are six games out of first place in the East and six games out of the final wild card spot.
