This first half has been pretty sick if you are a Red Sox fan. Didn't really see a lot of people projecting them to be in first this season (heard a lot about them finishing 3rd...which still has a good chance of happening really) but even though the season is only half over i'd rather still see them in first in the AL East rather than anywhere else obviously. A lot of cool shit, Mirrabelli's crazy ass comeback, The new infield playing really well, Papelbon pitching lights out and staying semi-healthy. I'd say the biggest down side has been the two free agent reliever pick ups (Tavarez and Seanez) but the all the young relief pitchers have been doing pretty well - not just Papelbon. Red Sox need to get a 5th starter though, I really don't understand why they are using Johnson? They had Synder who pitched one game and did alright - and David Pauly from the minors pitched pretty decent - both pitched much better than Johnson.
