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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2005 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If St. Louis goes on to win it all, it'd mean Renteria was on the wrong team both years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KingPK 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2005 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boon 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2005 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2005 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
