First, you did exactly what you accused the Drew Haters of doing-- you fabricated stats in making your argument, so you have lost credibility. And this is the nail in your coffin.

They need to win these head to head games. This was big. They demonstrated for the first time this season that they can compete with the Rays, and they did it in their house. It would be great to follow this up with a win tomorrow.
The Yankees get to play the Mets 6 times every season and they usually suck. The Red sox have been playing the Braves for 6 times each year as they won Division crown year after year. Now, they get to play the Champion Phillies 6 times. The Rays get to play the hapless Astros. I think they should stop inter-league play for a while. The novelty has worn off.
Welcome to TalkSox. It's great to have another fan here who remembers 1967 the birth year of Red Sox Nation. Ray Culp was one of my favorites. Brings back memories of Sonny Seibert, Gary Peters, and Dick Ellsworth.
I like Big Jim. Because he is not a professional announcer and because he is not big on diplomacy, every once in a while he gives you something that lots of other ex-jocks don't-- the honest opinion of the ballplayer. Sometimes you have to listen very closely to understand.
