Red Sox
I am actually going to the red sox game tonight at fenway park and Smoltz is the starting pitcher. i hope that his outing is better then his last two but who knows. I dont know if i am the only one that thknks the Sox are going all the way this year but they have the pitching staff, the fielding and now that Ortiz is back hitting the ball we have the hitting to. i think that the media was a big part in why this athletes get into slumps like ortiz and JD Drew. It is hard enough to goout every day and play as hard as you can and go 0-4 then after that go home to your family and have to here about it on ESPN or the news. I give guys like youk and Bay so much credit because they go out every day and perform at such a high level but i give guys like ortiz even more credit to come out of the slump liek he was in to batting close to 300 with 12 homers.

The media is all about "what have you done for me lately" so I'm sure it is tough on players who are struggling to go home and watch, read, or hear about it, like you said. Also, I definitely think the Sox have a great shot to win it all this year. There's alot of baseball left to play and alot of good teams, like the Dodgers, Giants, Yankees, etc. but it'll be interesting to see how it all turns out and how the trade deadline affects teams.
