Since a lot of people seem to be incredibly pessimistic and even downright unhappy with the Sox right now, despite one of the best starts in team history, I thought I'd link to this article to remind everyone that things are actually going pretty well so far.  I found points 2, 3, and 5 particularly insightful and encouraging for the long-term success of the team.  Maybe it just takes an objective outsider's perspective to convince us not to dwell too heavily on the minutiae and daily ups and downs of the ballclub and take the long view.
