500!!!!!!

Last night, the Red Sox scored their 500th run. That got me thinking, why are people complaining so much about the offense? Yea, they aren't going to scored 1,000 runs or have many games where they score 20 runs, but they are still a good squad. When you consider that some players are under performing, Manny and Drew stand out the most, i actually think this is a really strong offensive teams and the number's show that.

Rankings
BA - .277 (5th)
Runs - 500 (4th)
OBP - .359 (2nd)
SLG - .441 (4th)
OPS - .801 (3rd)
SB - 53 (7th)

Imagine if Drew, Papi, and Manny start hitting for the power we know they can. Or how about if Lugo and Crisp keep this up or Youkilis and Pedroia go back to how they were playing. This team is not the Yankees, but they are pretty damn close.
