The Sox have little chance. I'm a lifelong Yankee fan, and I respect the Red Sox for being the best competition against my team over the past 30 years. Between injuries and tensions in the locker room (Big Papi getting "old"; Youkilis being out for the rest of the season (he's the heart of the team - and I'd love to have him on my team), and my favorite, Lowell, not being played as often as he'd like, all lead me to believe that the Red Sox are not going to recover. Add to that the Rays are the most aggressive/talented team in all of baseball, I just don't see the Red Sox coming back. But only baseball fans would understand - a good two weeks can bring you right back into the picture. I can't wish you good luck, but I can wish you recover from the injuries and give my team a race to the playoffs!
