The Red Sox are currently in first place in the AL East by one game over the Yankees (with two games in hand).
Seriously, after their 0-6 start did anyone think the Red Sox would be in first place by Memorial Day? Sure, most people thought they would eventually get hot and compete in the AL East, but first place by Memorial Day?
As Rob Bradford of WEEI points out: no other team has more wins this month than the Red Sox (19). And no team has a better batting average (.288), OPS (.824) or slugging percentage (.472) in May than this team.
In other words, this Red Sox team isnt just good...they are scary good.
