Dare to dream (aka Red Sox Rant #3)

Baseball etiquette and tradition dictates that players aren't supposed to talk about a no-hitter while it is in progress, nor are they supposed to talk to the pitcher who is working on the no-no. Well, let's just say I feel the same way about this post. Dare I comment on the Bo Sox at this oh-so-tenuous point in their bipolar season? Who saw this? Winning 12 out of the last 13? Are you serious? 4.5 games behind the Evil Empire? First in the Wild Card hunt by a game and a half? Dare I make a big deal out of this? Granted, their recent orgy of winningness hasn't exactly been against the A-List teams of the AL (Blue Jays, Tigers, White Sox), but no matter.

Additionally...dare I raise the notion that trading Nomah was a....good thing? Let the numbers speak for themselves: Sox were 14-12 in July (Nomie's final month with the Good Guys), and are 20-7 to this point in August. Coincidence? Only time will tell. It's make or break time now.
