CAN THE RED SOX STILL CATCH THE YANKEES FOR THE DIVISION?

As of this evening the Red Sox are 7.5 games behind the Yankees for first place in the AL East. Doesn’t it seem like it was just yesterday that the Sox were 8-0 against the Yankees for the season while enjoying a 3.5 game lead in the division?

Well things have certainly changed in a hurry. The Yankees proceeded to put their pitching, hitting and defense together at exactly the same time that the Red Sox lineup began to fall apart. The question is can anyone stop the Yankees?

My guess is that the Red Sox cannot catch the Yankees and need to focus on winning the wild card. With the lineup that the Yankees have, they can score a lot of runs every night while pitchers like Petite and Sabathia continue to have great seasons.

I hate it when the Yankees play well!
