The Red Sox's record for most wins in a season has stayed constant for the last 105 years.
But the 2018 Red Sox are on pace to win 112 games, which would obliterate the club record by seven games. It would also be the fourth-highest total of any team in major league history.
How great is this team?
These Red Sox could play .500 ball for the rest of the season (32-32) and still become only the fourth team in franchise history to win 100 games.
Like the man said: "It's Time To Party!"

10 of the 12 worst Red Sox teams through 98 games played between 1922 and 1932.
MFY manager Aaron Boone was asked if he was doing any scoreboard-watching as far as the Red Sox were concerned: "I see that they win every day."
