A Realistic View at 2016

My apologies YOTN.

 

I wasn't calling him racist or ignorant, just his post. You are correct that I should have explained that better.

 

I have to be honest though, if someone calls me a dick or an ******* it's pretty tough to not respond in kind. I will try to refrain from that in the future.

 

And not that it matters but you did not insult me. Your response to my post was that I am entitled to my opinion ( as are you ).

 

I'm glad Youk interceded. Good job.

Back to topic. A series vs MIN is coming, I'll be surprised if we don't sweep them while TOR and BAL will face each other, it will be a great opportunity to re-take the lead of the division.

 

Or, the Sox could play down to the Twins level and come home 3-4 games back.

 

I hope not.

Hopefully not Spud, although the offense has cooled down a bit. Seems like we are going to need that our pitching staff do the job this time.

Also as far I remember MIN doesn't have a good offense, so this shouldn't be a big deal for Wright, E-Rod and Porcello.

Late last month in Seattle, the Minnesota Twins swept the Mariners, who at 33-26 are currently only one game behind the Red Sox in the Wild Card standings (the Mariners also have been swept at home by the Angels and the Athletics, two more clubs with losing records).

 

Baseball is a funny game.

 

The Red Sox are better than the Twins yet I would be surprised if the Sox sweep ... but anything is possible.

[SoxnCycles]

Sweeping any team in MLB is a tough job.

[Kimmi]

I have moved all of the posts from the beginning of this ridiculous argument to a brand-new thread, which I then locked because there is no reason to keep it going.

 

Don't you wish all of the posters were as sweet and well-behaved as I am?

[Kimmi]

I was wondering why I could not post this until I discovered that the thread was closed!

Lol.

 

I am happy to say that I have always liked Salty. Certainly a flawed receiver but I don't believe that anyone can question his heart.

 

Plus he was an excellent team mate and from what I saw of him in Boston, a pretty nice guy.

 

I was never impressed with Salty's defense, but you're right, you can't question his heart or his work ethic. I always liked him too because of that.

I hope not.

 

I hope the Sox know better than to take any team for granted, no matter how bad they seem to be.

 

Sweeps are not easy to come by even against the weakest teams. One game at a time.

[moonslav59]

Tough break for Price last night. If he could just take back 2 bad pitches...

 

I'm hopeful this road trip ends well.

The Twins are awful. They are last in pitching and last in hitting in the league. So they will probably only win two of the three games against us.

LOL! Yeah they arguably the worst team in the AL.

[Jasonbay44]

Its not arguable

[Spudboy]

Great!

 

Now the Sox will limp home after losing 2 of 3 from the Twins!

Lincoln would have had a great night at the theatre IF it weren't for the bullet.

[Slasher9]

actually i would argue the NYY are the worst team in the AL.

[TheBabeStrikesBack]

Yeah, but you always predict that the Sawx will finish in 1st place and that the Yanks will finish in last place year after year.

 

How's that been working out for you, troll?

[Youk Of The Nation]

We're always going to predict that our team will finish first. Please stop calling each other trolls.

[TheBabeStrikesBack]

We're always going to predict that our team will finish first.

 

Only if you are just a homer.

 

A realist can look at their team and see it for what it is.

actually i always predict the yankees to be a .500 team at best. not necessarily last place. i predict the Sox will run away with the division.

i predict alot of things.i am usually wrong. but at least i have the guts to make a prediction.

[Slasher9]

i predict the Sox will win the AL East.

I predict the Yankees will finish .500.

i predict that the yankees will have another player fail for PED's before the season is over.

I predict that you will change your avatar before the end of the season.

Which simply makes you a homer and your predictions worthless, hardly having any "guts".

[Slasher9]

i predict jacoby ellsbury will go on the DL.

i predict Texiera head will grow another 2 sizes.

i predict mccann will be charges with spousal abuse.

[Slasher9]

awesome. since they are so worthless when i'm wrong feel free to not say things like "you predict that every year".

i predict the sox will be the only baseball team in history to ever come back from 0-3 in the playoffs and embarrass the other team celebrating the 7 game series win on the opponents field.

[d-money]

I hate the evil empire but they playing some good baseball right now. This team needs to start winning games and series again.

They will probably just deny it like big papi.

[TheBabeStrikesBack]

I predict that you will never fully grasp the English language.

Two terms that need to die.

[TheBabeStrikesBack]

Two terms that need to die.

 

No, the only term that needs to die is the one currently in the White House.
