Suddenly, your
2016 Carmine Hose are in a five-way race for the
Second American League Wild Card spot.
Say what? This early-season juggernaut—with legit MVP candidates and a
Cy Young contender—is
clinging to a playoff berth by its fingernails? Yup. As of this morning, Boston is a half-game up on its nearest rival (the Tigers), with Seattle just one game out. The Astros are only two out and (
throw-up in your mouth alert)
The Bronx Embalmers are just 3.5 games back. If
The Evil Ones win it all this year, they'll have to give a ring to the Fenway Park light stanchion. With just 49 games left,
the Red Sox are now on pace to win just 87 games—hardly a guaranteed ticket to October. It might be prudent to wait until the last possible moment to send in your check for post-season tickets.
