The Red Sox are on there way to losing to Baltimore again tonight and if they do they will have a .500 record of 28 wins and 28 losses. There are 30 teams in the Major Leagues and right now they have 14 teams with better records and 15 with worse records. They will be in last place and at least 4 games out of first place in their division. If they were in the American League Central they would be in 3rd place and the same 4 games out. If they were playing in the American West they would be in third place too, but 5 games out. The same pretty much holds true in either of the three National League divisions, 4 or 5 games out of first and right near the middle of the 5 or 6 teams therein.
But I keep listening because all it would take is a couple of good winning streaks and they could be right there at the top. But at a third of the way through the regular season, those streaks better start soon.
