It's far too early in the season to watch the scoreboard, but Aaron Boone, like everyone else in the sport, is very much aware of Boston's great start.
"I know they win every day. By a lot," Boone said. "They're playing great."
The Red Sox beat the Angels, 8-2, on Thursday night _ after 10-1 and 9-0 victories earlier in the series _ to improve to an MLB-best 16-2. That gave them a 6{-game lead over the Yankees, who played the Blue Jays on Friday night a few hours before Boston began a three-game series in Oakland.
"We're trying to get our own house in order and right and trying to get guys healthy and on the mend and trying to get traction on us playing well, and that's really all you concern yourself with, especially at this point of the season," Boone said. "But it's hard not to notice that they're running through the league pretty well right now."
