The A's can't play the Red Sox every game, so I don't really see that happening.Toddowen wrote:Fukken A's are still alive. The catastrophe in Texas is going to be devastating if they don't make the post-season and fall to the A's.

They hit 88 mph and the flux capacitor kicked in gear and POOF!, back in time they went! Hopefully they can avoid the Biffrays back in July. Just you wait and see. It's not over yet! Doc Brown'll get'em there.
They are close to clinching 3rd place as well.Toddowen wrote:Look at the positive, YaFJ. At least Boston is mathematicaly assured of finishing above .500 winning pct. for the year.
Nice math. Actually at this point it will be a wild card tie, and that's exactly what we're headed for as the yankees are taking it in the ass to the Blue Jays tonight while Boston is rolling over Chicago. I told you. This is the time of year that Boston kicks it into high gear and you get to see who has the true heart. Dice-K was masterful last night against the Yankees and Lester completely rolled them as well. Those two alone are enough to carry a staff, and then you throw in the rest and they can't be beat. Red Sox are playing grind-it-out dirtbag ball right now and scratch out runs. I was laughing my ass off at how they exposed Rivera last night, running all over him at will. Even Bill Hall got two easy stealsToddowen wrote:Uh oh. I think if the Sox win all the rest of their games and the Yankees lose the rest, then the Boston would replace NY as the winner of the wild card.
Show me where one Red Sox player was quoted saying "we're not making the playoffs....time to mail it in." That's not dirtbag baseball. they control their own destiny after the Yankees lose two more (and it will happen because that pitching staff is sucking ass and nobody hits anymore) and get it to Fenway. Sure, a week ago it may have looked bleak but I've been saying all along- this is a special team that has the qualities of the '04 team and just has that certain "it" factor about it where they never give up and keep fighting. The yankees took everything for granted and once they get back to Fenway, expect their rubber Cheerios to tighten up as they all swing from their heels. Meanwhile the Reds Sox are just playing small ball and manufacturing runs and getting timely hits, not to mention fuck-you-in-the-ass defense and pitching. They're going to do this for Lowell.Toddowen wrote:Not even the players themselves believes that The Sox have a chance. It's over and they know it.
Pretty sure that the records indicate that they don't.Yer a Fuckin Jerkoff wrote:You can't tell me that Boston doesn't deserve a playoff spot.
Boston is 7-8 against the Yankees, 7-11 against Tampa. You fucking tool.I'm a Fuckin Idiot wrote:Boston will end up with a better record than at least one of those teams while playing MUCH stiffer competition in the East. Also, they kicked Tampa and the Yankees' asses this year head to head.
That doesn't mean that they are better. They both played in bullshit divisions while the Sox played in one of the best divisions in MLB history. And even with all the injuries Boston went through, they still may manage a better record than both of those pathetic clubs. What major injuries did the Rangers and Twins have? They are both aided by cheap divisions and they will suck in the playoffs. Stop ignoring the facts. And Goober I didn't realize that Tampa and the Yankees won season series' against Boston; it seemed like everytime I looked up, Boston was pasting the Rays and laying the hammer to the Yankees but I guess I was wrong since they lost more than they won. But that just serves my point even more; imagine if the Twins and/or Rangers had to play 15-17 games in a season against the yanks and Rays?Toddowen wrote:Yer a Fuckin Jerkoff wrote: The Rangers and Twins are better teams than the BoSox?
Yes. They are better. They finished atop their divisions, while Boston will show up in 3rd place in theirs at the end of the season.
Holy shit talk about being a .500 ballclub. Put Boston in the AL West and they win 100 games....even being in the East they still destroy the Twinks and Rump Rangers recordwise. Outside of Pettitte they didn't have any injuries. And Posada doesn't count because he's done anyway. The Bosox entire roster was depleted by injuries but Theo and Tito kept it going since they are the best-run organization in baseball and have the best farm system in the bigs. The yankees didn't have injuries- just overpaid, aging shitty stars who can't produce. And they make dumbass signings like Kearns and Berkman who both suck ass. Boston finds the right mix every year even with tons of injuries. beckett was out most of the year, MVP Pedrioa, and of course Yook, and they still mowed teams down.Toddowen wrote:
What's next? Crying about injuries? The Yankees had injuries too. Yet that didn't stop them.

Granderson was on the DL as well earlier in the seasonToddowen wrote:What about A-Rod being injured?
Of course, the Yankees put up phenomenal numbers while he was out, so that doesn't really matter, right?
Swisher was injured for a spell too from what I recall.
Yes, it does mean they are better. Didn't the White Sox come into Fenway not too long ago and sweep a 4 game series against Boston? Real bullshit division I guess.Yer a Fuckin Jerkoff wrote:That doesn't mean that they are better.
