    Teddy Bear........Lol.

    With Derek Holland out until mid-season, and the Tigers getting rid of Doug Fister for essentially nothing and acquiring an injury-prone 2B and starting a rookie (albeit a very good one) at 3B while giving up their one true LHH threat, i think you can realistically make an argument for the Sox over either of them.

    Agree on the first point, but now he didn't play like the face of the franchise? What exactly do you mean by that?

    Too much to ask for with the geriatric duo and their pet puppy on rampant assault. @bellhorn On topic: This thread made me do a little more research on the tragedy of Donnie Moore, and it seems that the general consensus (that Moore committed suicide because of the big HR he gave up to Hendu), is just a load of incorrect narrative. Dude was a mess.

    Please let the Yankees get Papelbon. Please please please pretty please.

    No they didn't. Let me know when you have a season as catastrophic as the Sox' 2010.

    That's not true at all. The Yankees used the "grind pitchers to dust" style of offense way before the Red Sox adopted it. The Yanks' problems in the last few postseasons have been age and pitching, and they still won a WS.

    Please. The Yankees could have a losing season, and so could the Red Sox or anyone else should the injury Gods decide on it. Get over yourself.

    ...which is exactly what we saw when Damon donned pinstripes.
  10. User Name
    But that's the point. His initial point was not about on-field performance, it was about rivalry popularity and drama.

    Fred, if you just learned how to take your time so you can comprehend what you read instead of banging on your keyboard like a monkey on crack denouncing your righteous indignation we would all be better off for it.
  12. User Name
    As is logical. But the other time when the rivalry is at its best is when the media's hyping it up prior to the season.

    Damon to Yankees got a lot of play in the media. Drew by himself wouldn't be a big deal. Ellsbury + Drew would be a lot better for media fodder.
  14. User Name
    Yeah but we're in media-crazed 2014. I don't think you're recalling correctly just how much media time the Damon-to-Yankees saga got back in the mid-2000's.

    He's not talking about a Red Sox perspective. He's talking about a media buzz/rivalry talk perspective, and from that POV, it makes sense.
  16. User Name
    What you're saying makes no sense.
  17. User Name
    Yeah that's why i find what he's saying so strange. The advent of widespread statistical analysis has had the opposite effect of what he states. Teams are locking up young talent earlier because statistical analysis permits a more accurate prediction of career arc and has provided teams with a better idea of the value of homegrown talent. You don't need to be a logichound of whatever else it is you're saying, you just need to think logically period.

    If Tanaka adjusts immediately, Sabathia reverts to ace form, Kuroda staves off father time, Robertson can adequately fill Rivera's shoes, they can find adequate setup pieces, Jeter is not a statue at SS/lets go of his pride and moves to 3rd, Teixeira can stave off his decline, and they can get something out of 2B/3B, they should make the playoffs at least if not win the East outright. Those are a lot of ifs though.
  19. User Name
    Wat?
  20. User Name
    The difference is that a lot of the Sox' question marks had to do with identifiable flukes/strange occurrences. Age/marked decline are a whole different ballgame.
  21. User Name
    a700 can't read and neither can Fred. The answer didn't specifically single out Fred and clearly stated that the question was about the ALCS, to which a700 (who again, can't read apparently) responded with some dumb comment about the World Series. Wow.

    I'll tell you why: What role players had unsustainable all-star seasons? That is retarded. If you say Nava, you know that's a load of s*** What aging veterans "returned to their prime"? If you're talking about Ortiz, the production hadn't tailed off at all and he missed a chunk of time at the beginning of the season. Where's the unheralded durability? Oh, and what about half the f***ing roster being injured at one time or the other? The "lucky" season had a lot more to do with depth than with luck. The loss of Ellsbury will hurt, but Salty was still terrible defensively and Drew ain't gone yet. Even if he is, well, there's a pretty good chance XB outproduces him next year anyway. I know it really pisses you off, but it's clear that the Red Sox are still the better team, and luck ain't why. Obviously, the assertion SoxSport is making that "they may have a better team" is dumb beyond words, but your doomsday device crap is just as dumb. The truth lies somewhere in the middle.
  23. User Name
    Jacko, your post is as dumb as SoxSport's, albeit on the other end of the spectrum.
  24. User Name
    You clearly don't understand what "Moneyball" entails, (and that's not really even a thing), and this post is one of the things that makes less sense that i have ever read. Navafan, how old are you?
  25. User Name
    Can someone please tell SoxSport to STFU with the tv market ******** since it is clearly, absolutely and unequivocally incorrect?
