In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines
So we sailed up to the sun
'Til we found a sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine
That's me being a debbie downer?

You sounded sarcastic. Maybe I read it wrong. "Oh only 4 games above the next best team".

Nah. I think it's pretty fucking great that the Sox have 4 more wins than any other team in the league. I certainly didn't expect them to be THIS good.
Cool. Nevermind me, I had one of those dumbass moments.
And HELL YEA........ I agree with you.

We can all complain about some particular player or aspect of the team--which is not perfect--but it's pretty darn hard not to be thrilled with the pre-ASG record. Were the Sox to stay at .694 for the whole season, they would win 112 games. Those also-ran Yankees 4 1/2 games back? If they stay at .653, they will win 105-106 games. Astros at .646 would win 104-105 games. So all three teams are having great seasons. The question is, which ones can keep it up?
It would be a once in lifetime occurrence for all of them to keep up their pace.
The King of TalkSox has Spoken.
We've got three teams on track to win over 100 games this year.
There's been some chatter here about how the competition level in MLB is down this year. While I don't have any stats to back this up I've been wondering if that's a byproduct of having a few teams that are better than normal and they're making everyone else look worse, both in their record and when comparing during-game performances.
It's like putting JDM in our outfield. He's not a "bad" outfielder - until you compare him to our three regular outfielders.
It's a mere moment in a man's life between the All-Star game and the Old Timer's game.
