Sox fan here. Yes this is hard but harder still are the division games to come.
This team has had a hot start for sure but they won't even start to convince me until they show that they can beat the division. In the last many many years now, we have stunk it up big time against our fellow ALC even when they're bad.
The biggest test is yet to come.

What makes a division "good"?
A couple really good teams and a few awful ones?
Or a bunch of average to above average teams all with similar records?
>>67297695

>>67297689
The team that's had a 30-11 record over the whos in the last 3 years
>>67297845
both relatively. al central "good" cuz they all have a chance at it.
NL central is good cuz pirates cubs and cards are legit playoff contenders who could go far, even though the brewers and reds suck.
>>67297845
I'd say 3 teams that are all within reach of 90+ wins and the division title
a bunch of average teams looks bad, one team is only in the playoffs because someone has to win the division

>The testing might not be perfect and won't ever be perfect -- but it's getting better all the time. Or at least it's catching users who never would have gotten caught before.
>Synthetic testosterone used to be a foolproof way to beat the system. But in a sport that is now recording baseline testosterone levels for every player and continuously tracking those levels, it's not so foolproof anymore.
>So there are indications, from what we've seen over the past few weeks, that MLB is now nabbing players who might well have been using these same substances for years without detection. And because of that, some folks were whispering Friday, "there's more coming" just like Gordon. But that's also a harsh reminder that this sport still has a higher number of PED users than it would like us to believe. And it probably always will.
This spells Jake Arrieta all over it.
