    CC's done.

    ....but it's still wrong. WMB has gotten pull happy, which is why he keeps trying to pull pitches low and away, but he has opposite field power, and will go the other way. He has demonstrated this throughout his minor league stay. The scouting report and spray charts all say the same thing. You are dead wrong about this, it's been demonstrated, so please stop beating that horse.

    I suggest you don't go outdoors for a couple days. Because it'll either be a mojo-induced lightning strike, or me swooping down with a baseball bat.

    SR, if we lose this game it's on you for violating mojo rules and on the newb for predicting the loss. Goddamnit, respect the mojo!

    WMB's swing is not his problem. His problem is his complete and utter disregard for anything that even resembles plate discipline.

    Come on guys, give jung a break.

    He's insinuating (in a decidedly mocking manner) that you're very unreasonable with your stance about Lee. He's not going anywhere.

    Are you really still banging the Lee drums?

    Newbie, please do not predict losses for the Sox in the GT. Thanks.

    It would seem so, since over the past 10 years, the team with the worst or second worst record in either league has won the world series three times (2003, 2006, 2011) while the team with the best or second best record in all of baseball has won only twice (2007 Red Sox, 2009 Yankees).

    Then he will struggle again when he's called back up.

    Ranaudo's stock is sky-high right now so is Cecchini's, who apparently you have not been following closely, since his power has taken a big leap forward, and his approach at the plate has scouts drooling all over themselves. Norris is a mid or back of the rotation guy and Veras is an inconsistent reliever. No thanks.

    That's a horrible trade for the Red Sox. Horrible.

    2002 Angels were a WC team that beat the 103 win Yankees, and a Giants team that was decidedly better prepared for the postseason regardless of its record. They were the underdogs against the Yankees and the Giants. To this day i still remember the look of utter disbelief in the face of some Yankee fans who couldn't believe their team had been beat by a team whose number 3 was Ramon Ortiz. The 2011 Cardinals beat two teams that were head and shoulders better than they were en route to the WS. To the rest of the argument, it's not shock value. It's the fact that a lot of the times in the MLB playoffs, the inferior team beats the superior team. The worst team in a single playoff winning twice in the same decade with several other teams that should not have beat the best team in their league should be indicator enough of the crapshoot and flukey nature of the MLB playoffs. Skill plays a big part, but the fact that luck does as well is beyond disputing.

    Hey hey let's not get carried away calling the Yankees good. As a Red Sox fan i am contractually obligated to proclaim that the Yankees always suck. No exceptions.
  16. User Name
    Wasn't Ramon Ortiz their number three? Ewwww
  17. User Name
    And they were significantly inferior to both teams. And don't even get me started on the 2006 cards.....

    2002: Angels win WS against the behemoth of a team assembled by SF, against all odds. 2003: Marlins are the worst team to make the playoffs, win WS over the much superior and heavily favored Yankees. 2006: Cardinals are the worst team to make the playoffs, make it crawling, beat arguably the best team in the NL (Mets) and a vastly superior Tigers squad en route to winning the WS. 2010: The Giants, who have a good team but are obviously inferior to the heavily favored Rangers, win the WS. 2011: The Cardinals, arguably the weakest team to make the playoffs in the NL, rolls to the playoffs en route to beat the absolutely best team in the playoffs, the Texas Rangers, to win the WS. 2012: The Giants, a good but flawed team proceed to beat the much much better and possibly best team in the playoffs, the Detroit Tigers, to win the WS. The playoffs are a crapshoot. The way baseball works, anyone can win a short series. The only thing the better teams have in their is slightly better odds.

    How about neither?

    You gotta make sure the target has been annihilated.

    If the Sox deal Barnes for Peavy i will sneak into John Henry's private box and uppercut him....twice.
  22. User Name
    Like Carl Crawford right?
  23. User Name
    Yeah, that's because Boras is his agent, and they wanna test the market.
  24. User Name
    Don't you think his silence is an indication of his willingness to test the market? It is indeed all up to him, and when have you seen a report of Ellsbury ever reaching out to the Sox? If it walks like a duck....f*** that.....if it has Boras for an agent.....
  25. User Name
    Yeah i remember when Boras himself said that......in an attempt to save face. That's not what was reported before it happened. Otherwise we agree. And still, every rule has an exception.
