    Red Sox Finally snapped out of it?

    Bo-Sox lineup is FINALLY putting up some massive numbers after a horrible opening month. Thoughts on this team? Will they continue routing people, or will they regress a little bit?

    Also, Adrian Gonzalez: Is it feasible that he hits .350 this season at Fenway?

    Absolutely confused by this team, and I think it's because since there's so much pressure on them, they are a mentally unstable team. Their highs and lows will be REALLY high and REALLY low.

    Don't forget to factor in that Talbot was just activated off the DL and the whole time he was in trouble, Acta let him keep throwing to see if he'll work himself out of it and to get his pitches in. Some of those runs/hits should be inflated due to his first start since over a month ago. Just like the Yankees, Boston has the ability to put up runs on any given game. Lester also has been solid winning his 7th straight.

    99% of that was Talbots shitty pitching.

    So it doesn't have anything to do with Boston's 4th ranked OPS? Just trying to gauge them as a team right now. With Gonzo and Ortiz killing the ball, and now Youkilis and Pedroia starting to hit (with Crawford showing signs of life too), are they a team to be reckoned with?

    Not to mention Beckett piecing together a very respectable season thus far. I feel like this is one of those teams that will be peaking in October...

    Talbot did the exact same thing twice last year.

    Boston will have the 4th ranked OPS or higher for the rest of the season. Nevertheless, they will not repeat what they did in the 1st innng for the rest of the season.
