April Will Be Under .500

With a 5-4 late inning loss last night to Seattle at Fenway the Red Sox cannot mathematically get to .500 in April. One game left this month leaves the Sox at 12-14 with a win tonight.

There is good news & bad news, depending how you look at things:

- Dice-K may be headed to the DL. His velocity was way down in the 5th last night. Will his exit from the rotation be a good or bad thing?

- Carl Crawford & Bobby Jenks can't be any worse in May than they were in April. Can they?

- Pap, Beckett, Lester, Ellsbury, Gonzalez, Youk & Lowrie are going well. Can we expect them to continue in May?

The absolute best news is that no team in the AL East is running away with the division. Top to bottom is a spread of only 4 games. Despite the struggles in April, we're still in it.
