Major League Meltdown

With only a game and a half lead on the New York Yankees, you can't help but to think, for the eleventh straight year the Boston Red Sox will not win their division. The Bo' Sox are having a complete breakdown inside their clubhouse...And we shouldn't be surprised.

In the last six seasons the Red Sox were on top of their division by a number of games just to run out of gas in September and let the Yankees win the division. Is it bad management or are the Yankees that good...? Contrary to belief, the Bo Sox are giving the division away time and time again.

Lack Luster pitching, inconsistent batting lineups, key injured players, and not to mention "stupid trades" have lead them to their demise over and over again. They give up OF Willy Mo Pena to the Nationals; now with the injury to OF Manny Ramirez, Willy MO could have been a big help to their batting lineup...They acquire Closer Eric Gagne, who hasn't made a good fastball pitch in almost 4 years, and he blows save after save opportunity.

The Yankees have ten games left to be played while the Red Sox only have nine and none of them are a head-head match-up between the two. This should add some extra drama to an already exciting end to Baseball's marathon of a season.
