Sox fans really hated the Rays for a while there too...

 

Still do.

Yeah, as I said, the Os and the Rays flip flop for 2nd place on the most hated list.

[SoxnCycles]

For me, the Yankees are still the most hated team, and barring incredible, unforeseen circumstances, they always will be. Much of that has to do with the obnoxious Yankees fans that I have to deal with.

 

The Os right now are a close 2nd, but they could be and have in the past been, overtaken by the Rays.

 

I've hated the Yankees since '78 and it's not going away anytime soon.

 

The O's and Rays are annoying when we have to play them, but I don't give them much thought otherwise.

That's a good way to put it.

I've almost always enjoyed watching the Rays play.

 

Especially when they were trading plunks with the Sox and there were bench clearing confrontations.

How about your Porcello predictions?

 

Pretty sure he didn't pick them to win the division either.

I looked and didn't see any evidence that he had.

He did around the middle of the season when they were running on all cylinders offensively a second time after a small lull iirc.

I'm pretty sure there was a "not enough pitching" prediction going on at the beginning of the year by him..

Porcello is pitching very well, I'm really surprised. I'm glad I was wrong about him this year... but I'm more glad that nobody wanted to bet this year LOL!

 

... and what about Peddy, do u still want him out of the team?

Believe it or not I did since I believed that our pitching staff was going to be average and the offense could be one of the best of baseball.

[SoxHop]

I wonder if anyone put down any money on Wright doing that well in Vegas this year......... that would have been like hitting Powerball...

It's the same situation that we had in 2015. A pitching staff that was supposed to be mediocre and an offense that was supposed to be one of the best in baseball. I heard over and over and over about how stupid Ben was for implementing such a ridiculous plan.

The thing is that he was stupid LOL!

 

That 2015 pitching staff was not going to be mediocre but horrible; it had all the signs to be a very bad staff.

 

2016 pitching staff was/is on paper way better than 2015 pitching staff.
