Easy call: Race is a runaway, by Dan Shaughnessy:
And hey, they still could. There is one game left and they have yet to secure a spot in the postseason (it won't be easy for them to not make the playoffs). As you can tell by reading this blog, I'm not one to poke fun at such things (we try to stay positive), but June 26? As in, the 26th day in the month before July (before the all star break), before August and before September? Do you think, for example, Mr. Jeter would be saying such things in June? I believe we'd here him talking about how we have a long way to go, how we need to stay focused. If you were to ask him who is going to the World Series, he'd say the Yankees - what else would you expect him to say? But, I don't think he'd be yelling it out unprovoked or talking about it anymore than you pressed him to. I won't even comment on the Shaughnessy remarks as they kind of speak for themselves.

It's OK to say it. Don't worry about jinxing them. The 2005 Red Sox are going to win the American League East. By a landslide. Come late September, this is going to look like Secretariat at the Belmont in 1973.
After looking up at the Orioles for two frustrating months, the Sox moved into first place Friday night and they are there to stay. Stop worrying about the Yankees, Orioles, and Jays. It's not even going to be close.
''We're going to the Series, boys!" shouted Kevin Millar in the locker room after yesterday's 7-1 thrashing of the Phillies (the National League really stinks this year, no?). ''We're back! The [expletive] Sox are on a roll!"
