128

The Sox bats woke up over the weekend and the pitching stayed pretty strong. So the weekend sweep over the Rays, combined with a swoon by the Baltimorians gives the Red Sox a commanding 3 game lead in the AL East.

The magic number to clinch is now down to 128.

Sox start a series tonight in Detroit against the last place (!) Tigers. Jim Leyland smokes like a chimney during good times. I'd be interested in seeing daily chest x-rays of him this season.
