Baseball Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous baseball thoughts and observations.

The Red Sox are 3.5 games behind the Rays but keep in mind that the Red Sox have 7 more home games left than the Rays. The Rays play their next 9 games on the road and they play their last 8 games on the road. I still think the Red Sox will catch the Rays but that Tampa Bay will make the playoffs as the Wild Card... Too little too late. The Indians are 20-10 in their last 30 games. That’s the same as the Red Sox and 1 game less than the Rays. Where was this Indians teams earlier in the season? Keep in mind that they went 20-10 without CC Sabathia. The Indians should have been the team to beat in the AL Central this year... Today would have been Nap Lajoie's 132nd birthday.
