Not quite home yet but certainly breathing a bit easier after a 19-9 August.

I think two elements of our play this season really stand out. The first is the even spread of contribution throughout the entire squad. Not a man has been downright poor. Only two have negative WAR. That said, I have flipped Mamaux into Adams's spot in the spin, as he just started getting the wobbles.

The second, no doubt a direct corollary of the first, is how consistent we have been, results-wise; how we have ground out the wins and bounced back quickly from losses. Thru end August, we only lose 3 straight on one occasion. That is the main reason we sit where we do, more than a dozen games clear of the cards. The Sox' and Sens' battle rages on, with just 3 between them to the good of Boston as we enter the stretch.

Awards, news, leaders - fingers crossed you won't hear from me again until the regular season is over, tidbits aside.
