Since it appears more and more likely that your 2013
Carmine Hose will finish first in the AL East, one of our loyal readers (
Andy Solberg of Maryland) thought it would be interesting to see how we all prognosticated the season back on New Year's Day. First, your humble scribe was
way off—forecasting a fourth place finish (just ahead of the last-place
Evil Ones). In our
FenwayNation Reader Poll, just 12% thought the Red Sox would finish first, while another 30% saw a second-place finish. Most (57%) saw a third, fourth or last place finish. Those of you in that 12%, please rise and take a well-deserved bow!
