Taking Stock of Playoff Chances
With sixty games left in the 2010 Regular Season, the Boston Red Sox sit five games on the outside of the playoff race and an additional two and a half games out of the division title. According to Coolstandings.com's playoff odds, the Red Sox playoff chances fall just under twenty percent with the magic number of wins to gain a playoff berth around ninety-seven, the Red Sox would need to go 39-21 -- .650 ball -- coming home to earn a chance at the post-season. Thinking back to the torrid end of summer in 2004, the post-Arod and Jason Varitek altercation Sox won forty-three of their last sixty-three games to push a similar record as this team stands now to the ninety-eight win plateau. Looking forward, specifically with respect to the remaining schedule, can this team replicate the legend-in-the-making 2004 run? Unfortunately, it will be a tough road to hoe.

Anything but a Luxury
The Boston Red Sox are clearly a "have" organization in Major League Baseball. Being a "have" however doesn't mean that you can literally "have" whatever your heart desires or that you "have" no budget or parameters around which your team must be constructed. Sure those limits are self-imposed by the current ownership group, but let's not forget, they own the team and fiscally responsible for its management. They have purchased -- literally -- the right to set those parameters to the bounds of their comfort level or desired profit margin. One such parameter currently in the focus of the media, the fans and the organization is the luxury tax threshold. But what does that all mean and how does it effect the 2010 Boston Red Sox or their approach to the upcoming trade deadline?
