if they play .500 ball on the road , which is about what they have averaged over the last 6 yrs they are going to need to win 54 out of their next 74 in Fenway park to get to 95 wins , starting 1-6 at home is a disaster for them

Prior year wins have nothing to do with this year

Ellsbury has been out and the pitching has been bad. 3 of their 4 series they played were against arguably 3 of the top 5 teams in baseball. The Red Sox are the best run org in baseball over the past 7 or 8 years and are not done yet.

true chuck , but, the last few years fenway park has carried them into the playoffs , call it home cooking or not , but i don't see how they make the playoffs unless they win 52-55 home games

they don't win on the road at any great %

They currently arent winning anywhere...but there are 149 games left.

And the notion that the Red Sox or any team gets "homecooking" is ridiclous

Bump.

As long as TFM is touting they are done, they have a chance.

The supposedly dead Red Sox are 2 games out of the wildcard.
David Ortiz has 10 HR's, 9 in May.

They have 4 games coming up against KC, 3 against Oak, 3 against the O's and 4 against Cleveland over the next two weeks. They may be ahead of the Yankees by June 10.
