I dont think you can say theyt have the best team in the AL. If they did they wouldnt have lost the division. This isn't last years team. They let all their pitching go, remember? And the one guy they do still have is hurting. I'm not sure any part of Bostons gameis better then Chicagos. Chicagos hit more HRs, (With a less homer friendly ball park). They can also play small ball much better, have more speed, play better defense. And then you get to the pitching side of things and Chicago definately has a better pen and better starters. I can't look at Boston and think of any reason they should be winning. No offense to him, but when your best pitcher is a guy who throws the ball and has no idea where it's going to go, well that's not inspiring.
Title: Go Sox!
Post by: XBL_SUCKS on October 06, 2005, 05:50:00 PM
Rylinkus- I ment they have the best hitting lineup in the AL meybe tied with the Yankees. They (Boston) has so many weapons they could use agenst you. Manny is the best "clean up" guy in the AL he gets you a ton of RBI's and HR's but also he's a smart hitter dosn't always swing for the fences like David Ortiz. Johnny Damon is in the top 5 IMO of leadoff hitters in baseball the guy gets on base alot. One thing people have to understand about the '05 Redsox compared to the '04 ones they had Pedro Marteniez (spelling) still, thats a huge arm to lose.
Title: Go Sox!
Post by: Rylinkus on October 06, 2005, 06:53:00 PM
Well Ortiz def. hits for average. And they lost Lowe as well who was lights out last year in the playoffs. And Schill ain't right. And Foulkes not there.

Add to that the White Sox ain't that bad. They have more HRs then Boston. They have good hitters. Perzynskis good. Konerkos good. Rowands good. Posednik hits well and is very fast. They're just a very good team with a bunch of guys people dont give enough credit to. They had a bad last month, but even as such you dont accidently finish with the best record in the American League. I'm sorry to Red Sox fans, all the guys I work with love Boston, but there simply out matched. And I dont think they have a chance in hell.

It means you actually have to be good to make the playoffs. Sports where they invite half the league are stupid. You won 4 out of 10 games? Ok, you're in.... <_<

Redsox are in their pen now. I'd say this is over.

Very true I never looked at that, Sportsnet and TSN (both Canadian) were showing inning by inning calls by him (ump) and he did the same fist pump for out calls so I am torn between this one. I would have called it a deal ball and then let him finish his at bat. Thats just my 2 cents anyway
Title: Go Sox!
Post by: Rylinkus on October 14, 2005, 04:04:00 PM
The fist pumping stuff is irrelevant. Neither AJ nor Josh could see it. So AJ thought the ball hit the dirt and ran and Paul thought he caught it and tossed it. MY thing is this;     play every single play til you have no doubt that it's over. Whether it be football, baseball, polo, whatever. It would have taken nothing to toss the ball to first or tag AJ. I put this on Josh Paul.

No one wants to see the killer B's in a series? Come on, Biggio's been playing for about 50 years. Come on, no one cares about St. Louis. Am I the only person who simply doesn't are about anyone on St Louis. I mean, I know Pujols is a great great player, but no one really cares about him. He's not on the Superstardom level.

Plus as a Yankees fan Id hope itd send a message to NY to see all these guys they didnt try harder to get back in the series. Contreras, El Duque, Pettitte, Clemens.....

Superstardom to me is something more then just playing very well. Derek Jeter's a superstar. You dump him in a crowd and people who know nothing about baseball will recognize him. Albert Pujols doesnt have that going on for him. I never said he's not a great player. He is. I just saqid on a national level I dont think people care about the Cards nearly as much as some other teams. No matter how good they are. Clemens will help ratings, Pujols wouldnt.

Al said and done it comes down to a few things.  The whitesox are a great story. I've always liked AJ. Contreras a great story, coming to this country the way he did. Ozzie's awesome. It's a really unique team.

But I would have been excited if the Astros won. I'm not an astros fan, but there's guys on the team I like. Makes more sense then routing for a uniform. I route for guys I like. Biggio, in this case. Just like I was pulling for CWS over Boston as I like Contreras, AJ, and El Duque. If you can't be happy for a great team, you're a moron. On the brighter side let the hot stove begin.
