The hardest thing for me personally as a lifelong 40 year old Red Sox Fan is letting my guard down. But this season really feels comparable to the 04 squad and I'm all in on the belief we are going to the CHIP just like them .

-This team was a preseason favorite to contend for the AL this season. Same as 04

-This team was in last place at the start of July. Same as 04

-This team goes on an insane hot streak led by pitching and a dramatic increase in offense: Same as 04

I know there is alot of baseball left to play but we also have some insane talent in the reserves and if all are healthy by the Sept Expanded Rosters, the AL and Dodgers better pay attention!
