The Red Sox have better depth, and will outscore them, and I think the bullpen will prove more solid by the end of the season, but they won't be easy to shake.Jack Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12129607755816264057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-70616698715678338132008-06-02T08:46:00.000-07:002008-06-02T08:46:00.000-07:00I'm not sure.

Even if the Trop is most likely the most annoying place to see a ballgame with all of the crazy noises there. Cowbells and things. But I felt the same way for the Colorado Rockies last year.<BR/><BR/>Similarly speaking, the Boston Celtics were in the basement last year in the NBA - I think they had the second worst record in the entire league - and a move here and there in the offseason, and they're headed to the NBA Finals with the overall best record in the NBA. Those types of bottom to top stories are very interesting to see.<BR/><BR/><BR/>The Cubs have the best record in baseball right now, by the way. First time they had the best record in baseball on June 1st since 1908. 36-21.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14809080115678512743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-45933833103116442932008-06-02T04:15:00.000-07:002008-06-02T04:15:00.000-07:00Can't imagine wanting to attack a Rays fan.
