The biggest reason why I’m not enjoying the 2007 baseball season comes courtesy of the Elias Sports Bureau:
“The Red Sox won both ends of their doubleheader against the Tigers, and reached the 40-game mark with a 28-12 record and a 9.5-game lead over the Yankees.
Boston’s pitchers have allowed only 136 runs in 40 games. Only twice in the American League’s DH era (that is, since 1973) have teams won at least 28 of their first 40 games while allowing as few runs as have the Red Sox. The 1984 Tigers started 35-5, with 120 runs allowed, and the 1990 Athletics started 28-12 with 130 runs allowed.”
For those scoring at home, the ’84 Tigers won the World Series and the ’90 A’s won the AL Pennant before losing to the Cinderella Cincinnati Reds. If the Red Sox follow history and join the Tigers and A’s in the World Series, I may have to move to Europe, where they don’t follow baseball. There’s no way I can stomach douchebags like JD Drew and Jonathan Papelbon getting rings.
