How Far Will Red Sox Go in 2011?

A lot of major outlets and so-called baseball experts have picked the Red Sox to run away with their third title in eight years when it's all said and done this fall.

ESPN, Sports Illustrated, your bartender, barber, gardener, mailman, milkman, mailwoman, favorite radio host, most-hated radio host, babysitter, neighbor, boss, intern, cab driver and Dunkin Donuts cashier are all guaranteeing that Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford and the rest of the 2011 Sox will be storming through the streets of Boston on the duck boats come November.

But is this a realistic prediction? It's not as if the Yankees are in a bridge year or the the AL West is going to bow down to Red Sox Nation. Heck, even the Orioles look good.
