If you want a real prediction of whether or not the Sox will win the World Series, just check if they won the Lee County Mayor’s Cup that season. The Mayor’s Cup is awarded to the whichever team from Fort Myers (the Sox or Twinkies) wins the spring training series. Since 1999 the Sox had only won the Cup twice: in 2004 and 2007. Well, another World Series is now all but guaranteed for the Sox. By beating the Twinkies (and Francisco Liriano) 12-7, they won the series 3-2. Not even Shelly Duncan making a fool out of himself in the Yanks-Rays game could take away from the excitement of this.
