What time is it in Switzerland, suiss SOX?

Also, Youkilis has been called up from Pawtucket, and Jose Cruz Jr. has been DFA'd. I knew that trade was pointless...:wtf:

Yikes, this brings up Mueller's health question too... Is he alright? Errors galore recently, however

Might want to edit that last Red Sox lineup... Damon CF Renteria SS Ortiz DH Manny LF Tek C Millar RF Petagine 1B Graffanino 2B Cora 3B Hmm...Why Cora at 3B again? :dunno:

f***. I suck. Well..... No need of editing it, thanks to Sizzlin I'll still be embarrassed. Oh well, I guess I tihnk of him twice as much before I think of Millar again Good ol' Sizzlin, always looking for something to embarrass someone with.

AFC East: I say the Bills are second because, as we've seen at the end of last season, they were ready to make a tear for the playoffs, but that fire sparked just a bit too late. They do have a great team, McGahee should prove REALLY effective for this year, and I just still tihnk the Dolphins are a last place team. The Jets, meh, Ty Law will help them, but it's gunna take them another year, IMO. The Pats, well, trust in Belichick! With Bruschi the linebacker coach this year, there's no doubt in my mind he will keep McGinest just as effective as last year, and make Vrabel an even better linebacker. Oh yeah, we also have a guy named Tom Brady, Corey Dillon, and re-signed Troy Brown who can play both ways! Pats take the East, but I'm not sold on them in the playoffs. AFC North: No surprises there, but I do believe the Browns will finish over the Bengals for one reason: Romeo Crennel. AFC South: If McNair and the Titans have the problems again like last year, say hello to last place, again. The Texans, over these past few years have increased steadily, and with Carr, Dominick Davis and Andre Johnson leading the offense, they become my prediction for one of the wild card teams this year. AFC West: Repeat of last year, but I don't think the Chargers do it again. I just feel the Broncos are a superior team to the rest of the division. NFC East: The Cowboys will come back, but not as good as the Eagles. Even w/o TO, they have won that division in the most recent years. And with Westbrook finally reporting to camp, I think it only gets better for them. Cowboys have Bledsoe back, and with Julius Jones, Terry Glenn, Bledsoe is gunna have some weapons. And oh yeah, that guy named Bill Parcells re-united with Bledsoe. Cowboys = 1 of the NFC's wildcard teams. NFC North: Surprise, surprise, the Bears will take this division. The Packers last year were a decent team at best, as the NFC wasn't a great conference. This year, the Bears have their defense to lead them. Sure, Grossman is their QB, and a good, high potential one at that, but their defense just has so many weapons. Their D-line is led by Ogunleye, their LB core led by Urlacher (one of THE best linebackers in the game) and their secondary led by McQuarters and Azumah. I will be VERY surprised if this team doesn't come at least in second in their division this year, but I truly think they will take it from the Packers and Vikings. The Vikings were a decent team in a disastrous conference (NFC) last year, and losing Randy Moss doesn't necessarily help their cause. Back to the Bears offense, they have some weapons which can still prove as a threat to any opposing team. Like I said, Rex Grossman can bring a lot to the table, and having a weapon like newcomer Muhsin Muhammad to pass to only makes things better. Oh, also, those guys named Thomas Jones and Cedric Benson. Nice 1-2 punch for their running game. Expect the Bears to make an impact this year. NFC South: The Panthers, they're going right back down the drain IMO. After last year, and losing Muhammad, I don't see how you can be better. They're gunna need a lot out of Deshawn Foster and Stephen Davis and hope they can stay healthy to make any noise at all. The Falcons...Michael Vick, that's all you really need. Something tells me the Bucs will be good this year, and that they will make the playoffs. It's the NFC..anything can happen. NFC West: What a dreadful division. What is it with divisions in the west? Especially West divisions that have an "N" in part of their name? (NL West, NFC West) The Cardinals will attempt to make a run for this crappy division's title, but the Seahawks won't relinquish it. The Seahawks will also prove to be another fluke. No one in this division does anywhere in the postseason.

Well, just thought I should start this, predict the final standings, and wildcard predicitions. Playoff predictions...Can't really say because I don't know who would be playing who. AFC East: Patriots Bills Jets Dolphins North: Steelers Ravens Browns Bengals South: Colts Texans Jaguars Titans West: Broncos Chargers Raiders Chiefs NFC East: Eagles Cowboys Redskins Giants North: Bears Packers Vikings Lions South: Falcons Buccaneers Saints Panthers West: Seahawks Cardinals Rams 49ers EDIT: Wildcard teams are (AFC) Bills, Texans (NFC) Cowboys, Buccaneers.

Yeah, but then the due-ups for the upcoming innings would have been off, and different people would have come up in different innings. Yes, I think with that complexity.

I think of: Schilling Manny Papi Ortiz Damon Nixon O-Cab Tek Foulke Mueller Pedro Kapler Lowe Timlin Wake ...Millar He's not even close to the first person I think of.

Hahaha, this is true. A year of posting with you knows this

Think about it this way... Petagine was clutch. If he doesn't get that hit, the Red Sox would have lost that game, seeing as the way things were going.

Pahahah I heard it in one of my history classes. Discussion on "global warming." I saw similarities between the two

Yeah I've been thinking like that as well. If Schilling is ever gunna want to go deep into games as a starter, we are going to have to get him pitching more innings, and increase his pitching length by a few innings at a steady pace. It's kinda like that theory with the frog and the boiling water. If you throw him into the boiling water right away, he'll jump out. But if you slowly boil the water, the frog will stay in to that temperature comfortably.

...go to hell I'm not smokey....how the hell...I don't even know how I inherited that name. Gee, thx Kaplerluver.

OK, we won the game. Happy?

Well, that's why I said I can't base it seriously. I made that assuming Schill would pitch in a starting role like he has in a closer's role, which would make him better than RJ.

I don't think it's your job to sign up for an internet message board with the only intent to throw someone's reputation into the shitter. We can figure this out by ourselves, thanks.

Yeah, sometimes it just goes down..

Errors are part of the game and every team makes them, I agree, and that one game like that, which officially was blown because of errors, is a kick in the ass and a wakeup call to the team that there is still baseball to be played, and anything can happen.

smoky? That's a terribly nickname. Hi smoky! How ya doin smoky?

An IP address is like your identification online. Because you're always talking about how "hot" players are, she wants to see your IP address and match it up with missin_cabrera's to see if you are the same. Even though you're not...I'm pretty sure.

Double posting idiot alert...

Well excuuuuuuse me. It's called a game thread
