    The competition level might be the highest on a Sunday in April, but it's not the World Series. As for the 2004 ALCS, if the players had a let down against the Cardinals and lost, we'd still be eating s*** from the Yankee fans and no one would care about that ALCS, just like the exciting comeback in the 1986 ALCS became largely irrelevant when they lost the World Series to the Mets. The World Series is it. As spectacular as Halladay's No-no was in last year's playoffs, even if it had been a perfect game, it would not rise to the same level as Don Larsen's game, simply because of the difference in the stages.

    The World Series is the pinnacle. Lots of great players never get there at all. Very few get there and dominate. No one did so better than Schilling. The Playoffs are on TBS, and the World Series is on a major network for a reason. It is more important. Period.

    Other than Pedro, if I needed a Sox win in a big game, I'd have to hand the ball to El Tiante. What a competitor. He'd find a way to beat you even if he had nothing.

    The rest of the world (other than Yankee and Red Sox) fanatics pay more attention to the World Series. Although we like to think so, all baseball experience is not centered around the Yankees and Red Sox.

    No, the level of play is different.

    ^ This. There never was anyone better in a Sox uniform in any era.

    It 's hard to be under rated when you are overpaid.

    The World Series is the most important series. It's the best against the best. He's been in 2 World Series and his results are average.

    Relax! I was joking. You need to reign in your emotions. With your health conditions, your head could explode for real.

    2-2 with 4.55 ERA in two World Series?
  14. a700hitter
    No one can match his post-season record.

    Lester is no Curt Schilling.
  17. a700hitter
    Yanks opener will probably get rained out.
  18. a700hitter
    Lester chokes in big games.

    He's working on the secondary pitches. If he can't get to the point where he can throw quality strikes with them, he'll be in trouble.

    The theory with keeping these guys is to buy some time and hope that a couple of them pan out. I just don't think there is any possibility of Albers or Wakefield being productive. I'd cut ties with them and let Aceves and Oki start the season with the big club. If they don't pan out, they'll need to look elsewhere. Wakefield and Albers are not depth, unless you are measuring garbage.

    and the whining begins.
  23. a700hitter
    Keeping Wakefield and Albers is not pitching depth. One is a "has been", ant the other is a "never was". The should stop deluding themselves about these guys and just cut ties with them.

    The Mayor's Cup drama is a tongue in cheek thing by Remy and Francona. I have been going to Spring Training for 8 years. There is no rivalry between the Twins fans and the Sox fans. No one talks or cares about the Mayor's cup. The crowds are very low key, and they expect the regulars to leave the games after 6 innings and to watch a bunch of kids. Winning is not a do or die prospect in Ft. Myers.
