JangoFett4Hire 0 Report post Posted September 12, 2004 The Sox could be on the verge of a historic season. For one, of course they pretty much have a playoff spot locked up, unless a collapse of astronomic proportions is in store for the Nation. But they also have a chance to have two players with a .300 or better BA, 40 homers and 100 RBIs ("Manny-Ortez" as they're now known, with thanks to John Kerry) in the same lineup, which would be a first. In fact it hasn't been done since the 30's when Ruth and Gehrig did it for the Empire. Add to that the outside chance of two starters with 20 wins (Pedro has 16 wins with 4 starts left). This wouldn't be a first as Pedro and Lowe had 20 wins a piece two years ago. But if Lowe wins today, they'll have three starters with 15 or more wins, which I don't think has been done before in Boston. AND If Arroyo wins one more start, they'll have 5 starters with 10+ wins, again a franchise first. Needless to say, I'm excited about this team, Babe Bucky and Boone be damned.

I'm pulling for them to if the Phillies (likely) can't superhumanly win the NL Wild Card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
