1.5 Games Never Felt Better

On this day last year the Red Sox were in second place and trailed the Yankees by only 11 games. While a 1.5 game lead may be the smallest lead this season since May blah blah blah, it is the largest lead we have had this late in the season since J Edgar Hoover was in office. If the Sox bull pen doesn't come around our post season will be as short lived as Britney Spears sobriety.
