Funny how the Red Sox go from fan fave to heel so damn fast, lol. Last year most of the country wanted to see the Red Sox end the "curse"...now we can't wait to get rid of them and throw them under the bus.

Tim Wakefield in his career ERA of 6.00 show why he should of started over Schilling.

 

The C on Varitek's sure has hell can't stand for Captain, or Clutch.

 

Berman was practically balling that Red Sox lost.

Because since that time, their fans have become almost as unreasonable as most Yankees fans.

 

If St. Louis goes on to win it all, it'd mean Renteria was on the wrong team both years.

White Sox scare me now though. I'd love to know how to win a game where Manny and Ortiz combined for 3 HR's....

 

They were all solo shots. That's pretty much the reason.

 

This was just a continuation of the absolutely pathetic September guys like Varitek, Mueller, Rentaria et al had. Top that with there being absolutely nobody to count on in the bullpen outside of Papelbon, and you have a team ripe to be swept. That part is on Theo Epstein for signing a bunch of "reclamation projects" and having each and every one of them blow up in his face.

 

You are going to see a vastly different Red Sox team in 2006. No Damon (You'd be a moron to sign him for 5 years), no Millar (and good riddance), a completely revamped bullpen and probably a few new starters.

 

It's funny, they won last year on pitching and defense, which is what you need, but this year's team was like all the other teams that couldn't get it done: built on mashing the ball to cover up a weak bullpen and shaky rotation. I gladly would have taken Cabrera over Rentaria if THIS is what I have to look forward to the next three years.

I said I'd take Cabrera over Renteria then, and I say it now.

 

You probably won't see Manny or Mueller on the team, either. If they were smart, they'd go young (Pedroia, Youkilis, Papelbon, Hansen, etc.) and save some of the money they free up for a mid-season acquisiton, or a closer in the off season. Regardless, they'll need more pitching and to replace some of the offense they're about to lose.

It'd be weird seeing Unfrozen Caveman Baseball Player in a different uniform

 

(Yes I know he was in KC and briefly in Oakland, but not as his current incarnation)

I got that from Wikipedia, I should note

 

According to the same article, the reason he grew his hair and beard over the winter of '03 was because the collision with Damian Jackson in the '03 ALCS left him with frequent headaches so bad he didn't want to get his hair cut or shave

I've been talking shit to people for the last month about the White Sox and they go and prove me wrong just like the Sonics did last year.

I guess I should be upset being a Twins fan. I'm not though. Ozzie Guillen after Torii Hunter barrelled into the Chicago catcher last year. Didn't say it was cheap, or any other sort of complaint. He just said it was an agressive play, and he wants his team to play like that.
