This weeks Sports Illustrated has the Red Sox coming in 3rd in the division. I think that with one of the best rotations in the game, winning the division is not out of the realm of possibility, at least the wild card. Without a doubt, New York and Tampa Bay, on paper, have stronger lineups. And unless Ortiz and Beltre return to the form they had several years ago, there will be struggles to get the runs. But the real promise is the pitching and hopefully they have worked out the new pitches and kinks and are ready to start throwing some shutouts.
On another note, MLB's zeal for ratings has forsaken the traditional opening day, for opening night, first time ever, that I can think of. Put me on the list of people that still like days games better. Especially opening day.
