If Schilling can win a good 16 games, Becket back in 20 game win form, and if Matsuzaka can become a 20 game winner (like he is supposed to be) then we can easily beat the Yankees for first place. As it is now I think we easily get Wild Card. Good defense in the infield and outfield (besides Manny) and obviously good hitters, as long as the starting pitching staff does their work and we still have Papelbon closing, I think we have a shot at another title.
