Can They Do It?

Can they do it? Even though I think the Angels will make it to the World Series, I’m still hoping that the Sox can. Lately since Manny left they have done much better and started to look like a winning team. The question is, is that enough? I have no doubt that they will get into the playoffs, they will at least make it as the wildcard. Lester starts today at 1:05, as he tries to finish the sweep against the Yankees who haven’t really played the same this year. If the Sox can seep the Yankees that will be a big boost into September, and also give them more confidence when they start the series against the White Sox. Hopefully by next week the whole Red Sox lineup will be back and healthy. Lowell is feeling well enough to play, and Drew could comeback Tuesday but won’t. While Drew is out Mark Kotsay will be filling in for Drew in right field. Kotsay has good numbers, this year he batted .289, and has 37 RBI’s making him a solid fill in. As the season winds down every game matters, and it won’t be as easy as it was last year, but it will be interesting to watch.
