yeah' date=' but a lot of very young teams that get this hot end up having a bit of a downturn the yr after. I think they overachieved this yr[/quote']

 

Plus their rotation remained intact for most of the year. If they have to deal with any sort of injury to that staff they'd really struggle.

this is true. But Price being around kinda negates that. I do agree though, they got a TON of innings out of their top 5, and that wont happen again

I don't know about Tampa doing worse. The scary thing is I think they could even be better next year.

I agree. The pitching all returns. Every position player worth keeping, read: everyone but the RF, is under control until 2010. They may have overachieved a bit this year. Their late game and one-run game performance cannot be expected to be repeated, but several of their key pieces are young and could be expected to improve. The ALE will be a beast next year.

 

Depending on who the Yankees acquire, your annual 3rd place prediction for the Sox may come true for the first time. But it won't happen without a fight. I expect the Sox to be pretty good next year too, as long at they stay healthy.

Meh. He'll most likely replace Jackson, no great shakes.

The AL East is (and will continue to be) so far ahead of the rest of MLB it isn't even remotely funny.

You're the one that has to live with yourself, so if that's OK with you, then so be it. It's just not welcome here.

Oh VA Sox Fan...can't take the heat' date=' can you?[/b']

 

Face it, the Rays are just a better team. How can you not root for a team that's been a doormat for all these years?

 

By the way ORS, I wasn't talking about you when it came to clutch. Like me, you never believed in it. A lot of idiots on both sides, with their "Ortiz is clutch" and "Beckett is a post-season God" and "Jeter's intangibles" made me sick. Only Manny is a post-season ninja. :)

 

Let's make it complete, shall we? Lets have Paps blow a 3-2 lead in game 5 to end it.

 

Admit it Sox fans. When you collapsed in 2005, and watched us get beat, it was sweet. You had already acclimated to the loss...this actually isn't all that bad.

 

I can take the heat moron, I'm still here. STFU!

 

I'm glad I don't spend my time on NYY boards. But to each his own.
