The Red Sox finally clinched the Wild Card last night, through no help of their own. Losing their fifth straight, it was the Rangers loss in Anaheim that sealed the deal for the Sox third consecutive post-season appearance. Although they are finally able to breathe easy and rest up for the playoffs, it would be nice to see this team win some games. Getting swept in New York is the last thing the Sox need before a potential ALCS showdown. Following that up with Clay Buchholz getting shelled by Toronto and suddenly I'm worried again. It's natural to feel this way, but after the 2008 ALCS, I'm not entirely sure the Sox can make it to the World Series with the starting pitching they have. Lester's knee and Beckett's ego will determine how far this team actual goes.
