Exactly.

Also why is there no chance in Ellsbury and Crawford cracking 35+ SB?

Besides the point of the thread is to be fearless.

Thank you. I also don't find the Bailey getting more saves than Papelbon that bad either.

Thank you Pumpsie for providing such quality discussion. You're on a whole other level. You should just leave because we can't keep up with your greatness.

I like your predictions Jacko. Seems like no one is sold on Ellsbury. I don't believe it was a fluke but we'll see.

This all started with Gom but I like the idea. Post your predictions here. 1) Red Sox will end up in top 5 in offense. 2) Pedroia hits 20 or more HRs 3) Crawford and Ellsbury crack 35+ SB 4) Ellsbury has another 30/30 season 5) A-God hits 30 or more HRs 6) Red Sox make the wildcard with about 95-100 wins. 7) Red Sox score 830+ runs on the season. 8) Carl Crawford has a comeback season and the haters will say nothing until 2013 9) Salty improves on offense and dramatically on defense 10) Youk improves in nearly every offensive category 11) Bailey gets more saves than Papelbon You heard it here first. 12) Bailey has less than a 3.0 ERA 13) Sweeney, Punto, Jackson all have bad seasons. Talksox calls for their heads before June. 14) Red Sox pitching ends up in top 10 15) Red Sox lead the division in the month of April. Feel free to criticize my perdiction or post your own predictions. Remember the predictions are fearless so don't expect all of them to be realistic. Just though I should point that out before people get mauled. Just have fun with it.

You were saying because on paper we're looking at 5th or 6th place fighting the Rays. Last year we were listed as favorites to go to the WS and we didn't even make the playoffs. The "on paper" argument is weak. The Sox can matchup against any team in the league. I don't care what the paper looks like.

....ok. You've been told multiple times by multiple posters that the names weren't funny. They're not creative either. It's hard to focus on the content when their isn't much. Yes you do lay out what you think is wrong with the team but then you go acting like you're a GM, when in reality, you're not.

How can that be true if a lot of people are throwing the white flag?

THIS. How f***ing stupid will people look if we win the World Series?

lol but the logic level is almost unbearable.

Nope. So if we get Jackson I expect no more pessimism from you old man.

Last year during the offseason everyone said we were complete. We had the media listing us in the WS vs the Phillies. How did the work out? E1 is absolutely on the money. Wait it out to avoid making yourself look bad if we do succeed.
