UPDATE:  In comments and via email, Mom notes that the Sox have the same record this year that they had at this point in the ’06 season, when they fell apart in August and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2002.  The difference of course is that they have a 10 game cushion to fall back on this time which they didn’t have before.
