    I'd go with Champagne Number.

    I like that! From now on that's what it is.

    It would be awesome.

    I thought the Yankees were the slight favorites going into the season, but I wasn't buying all that talk about how they would be unstoppable or even that they were a clear favorite. I figured it would be a dog fight all season, possibly going down to the last series, with the Sox having as good a chance as the Yankees to win the division.

    I honestly never imagined that we would have a 10.5 game lead at any point in the season. Life is good.

    In case anyone missed it, Tito's Tribe are the first team to officially clinch a division title.

    Congrats to them.

    Coming into the season, people really slept on the Red Sox. I mean look at last year. Pedroia and Price had big injury issues. The offense never replaced Ortiz. None of the kids made a leap. 3rd base was a giant vortex of suck for most of the season. There was a strong negative vibe, and it feels like a bad season. They also won 93 games and their 2nd straight AL East. I mean even BEFORE adding JD Martinez, there was a lot of reason to think this team was going to get better without doing much of anything. Of course we DID add Martinez.

    It'll either be 2 or Champagne after the game.

    Stars are aligning and we could see the best Red Sox team in history:

    Best record in baseball
    3 ALE division in a row
    106+ Wins
    MVP winner
    CY winner
    WS
    Tiburones Rojos de Veracruz & Boston Red Sox

    There won't be a Cy winner - Sale simply has not pitched enough.
