This thread...dusted off, and brought back to life.....

The Red Sox simply DO NOT WANT TO WIN THE DIVISION.

Thank you Toronto..thank you Eric Gagne...

But with the Red Sox losing tonight...and the Yankees up 12-0 on the Orioles...the lead is down to two games in the loss column. A tie gives us the division and the extra home game.

Can it be? Could it be? 14.5 games out...and caught in September? We shall see. Assuming the Yankee win [and Okajima and Papelbon aint pitching, so we have a good chance of winning]...the standing look like this at the end of 9/18:

Boston 90-62
Yankees 87-64 2.5 GB

Only two in the loss.
