The Boston Red Sox are much different this year, then last. Last year, it was Manny, and Ortiz pretty much doing all the work, getting all the home runs, and had the best stats by a mile, but this year, Ortiz, and Manny have a little more help. Rookie 2B Dustin Pedroia has the best BA on the team with a .328 average. David Ortiz, and Manny both have just 19 HR's, but last year, Ortiz had 54, and Ramirez had 35, they'll be lucky if they even reach 30 this year. What is with them? They are not performing well, but i'll tell you who is, Mike Lowell. He's got a .311 BA (3rd on team), 16 HR's (2nd on team), 132 hits (1st on team), 79 RBI's (1st on team), as well as a .362 OBP (7th on team), if anybody, it is Lowell who is the team's MVP. He is the reason the Sox are winning so much, along with Dustin Pedroia, and the Sox starting picthers, like Beckett, and Matsuzaka. The Red Sox should continue to do well, and beat out the Yankees, who, by the way are on fire. Look for Manny and Ortiz to come out hitting HR's in October.
The red sox play the devil rays in a few minutes Boston.
