I think the Sox just became the third best team in the East. Merry Christmas, Meddler, nice hat.

Behind who, the Blue Jays? Are we supposed to be afraid of AJ Burnett now? Are you kidding me?
As long as Manny, Ortiz, and Varitek remain the cornerstone of the lineup, and Schilling is healthier than he was last year, the Sox will have everyone save the Yanks in their rearview mirror. The Blue Jays and Orioles, try as they might, are still years away from competing with the Sox and Yankees, and the Devil Rays may never have a hope.
We've gone through this every year for the past 3-4 years now. The Yankees make a big splash in the offseason trade market, everyone in Red Sox Nation panics and thinks this is the year the Yankees run away with the division with 150 wins, and every year the Sox remain highly competitive all the way to the very end, and the Yankees find a way to blow $200M+. I expect this year to be no different.
