Just Get There
As we look at things right now, I don't think we should worry about the Tigers any more given the major deficit we face. The Sox just have not played anywhere close to the level of baseball they have consistently through this year.
The thing to think about is winning our games, holding onto that wild card spot, and you never know what might happen. Two of the last three World Champions have come as wild cards. Let's get hot, win the wild card if that what it takes, and you never know what might happen to the division along the way. The key is to be in the playoffs and to get there our pitching will be the key.

Hawk,
I'm watching the sox/yankees and you're bias is bigtime! You made a comment earlier about the 3rd base umpire not calling the sox way. Well you've said nothing about the other umpires who look as though they want to go to dinner early. Be fair HOMER! Oh, I'm sorry, you are a homer and somewhat unfair to the visitor; e.g., goodguys vs badguys.

DJ,
I agree with you about the quality of the Sox play, which is inconsistent. But I think that the Sox still have an outside shot at the division. Why settle for the wild card when you can get a better seed as the division leader? The rest of the homestand is crucial for the Sox and may very well determine whether they win the wild card or the division. That was an incredible win last night by the Sox. I turned the game off after Jimmy struck out to end the 8th, shame on me, I missed the excitement at the end. Well I hope the Sox continue to play well these next couple weeks. Let's hear it for the champs!
