You did a great job on the story itself. You did a good job of backing everything up with stats.
But, I disagree with on the Red Sox. I don't they're finsihed yet. Boston is now tied for the wildcard lead and is only 2 games behind the Yankees. The Yankees pitching has been almost as bad as the Red Sox.
Beckett has been bad ERA wise, but he is 13-6, which means he's been getting good run support. Schilling, Beckett, and Wells are all expirenced pitchers who will help down the stretch. The is hitting well too.
Don't give up on them just yet. You never give up in August unless you're a Royals, Devil Rays, or Pirates fan.
