Sox season so far - the 140 game edition

Well the season really is reaching the crunch stage, and a 12-8 record over the last 20 games has helped the Sox maintain their Division lead in the 3 - 4 game range - enough to make the Sox favorites, but not enough to stop that last three game set at Fenway fade into "who cares" irrelevance.

The one thing to watch in the next 20 games - the Sox's record against the Blue Jays. Quietly lost in the glee over the Yankees poor performance against the Devil Rays this year, has been our own equally poor record against the Jays - last night's win "improved" our record to 4-8, with 6 games (2 in Toronto, 4 at Fenway) still to be played. If the Sox don't do a lot to even that series, those last three games could be as tense, if not more so, than last year's climax.
