The Official 2005 Boston Red Sox Thread

[Rujah]

me neither but i guess i didnt make myself clear. i hate the yankees end of thread

[delfunk1]

Thus the reason i was reluctant to start posting in a yankee/redsox thread.....add baseball to the religion/politics category, i feel no need to argue with my fellow breakfast junkies, i do that plenty with yankee fans that don\'t share my same musical taste.  Plus i thought it was everyone against the yankees....guess i was wrong.QUOTE]

My intentions of this thread were not to errupt WW3 (if that is even possible, it may not be).  Besides a discussion about Pink Floyd playing Live 8 has already proven it can cause "fighting words".  I\'m just a civil sports fan who likes a good rivalry.  I go to school in Rhode Island, and all my roomates last year were Sox fans and I don\'t try to make those stupid arguments i.e. Red Sox suck bla bla bla.

Yankees rule!  I\'ve been a die-hard Yankees fan since the beginning of time... just bc the RS have one championship title doesn\'t make me love my team any less.

Same here, just wish the Yanks would shape up a little.

How do they go from playing baseball one day and getting embarrassed the next?

[Rujah]

but still the yankees blew a 3-0 lead in the ALCS and lost 4 in a row. truely the greatest feat in sports history.  on a side note boones HR the previous season was lucky as well if that never of happened than the red sox may be pushing for a 3peat this yr.  

Go BRAVES

PITCHING.... they dont have any. you get have a rookie make his debut as a new york yankee against the red sox in Fenway and expect to win

[Spacey]

what is, is.

life isn\'t about what could have been.

if I didn\'t quit my job, I couldn\'t spend my friends money as freely as I do.

They have Zero pitching.

Why would you pick up an 0-5 Redding? Dude can\'t win, yet they grab him. Also, I heard that Leiter is close to becoming a Yankee. A team of has beens indeed.

good point.. but

if the braves didnt win 15 division titles in a row, they wouldnt be int he playoffs every single year

[Spacey]

The Braves have been consistent in getting to the playoffs. They just need to win a few more and find themselves back in the WS.

sucks that WONG got hurt he was prob there best pitcher. the unit will come around. i mean randy johnson. but al lieter is almost 40 yrs old. i think they yankees need to get younger but they\'ll still get someone useful before the deadline. well at least the yankee fans hope so

yeah your telling me. this is their yr though.  after they win a tough bl east battle their young guys willl be prepared for the post season.  hampton goes tonite vs. the mets. he been on the dl most the yr. chipper be back soon. with all their injuries this season they have really played well.  if it wasnt for that one game vs the NATS when they call Brian Jordan HR a foul Ball they braves would be in 1st

[Spacey]

Yankees have this crazy notion that all these old guys are going to become young again. I don\'t know if the Yankee Nation will be ready for a few years of rebuilding. Need youth and a lot of it. Wouldn\'t hurt to get a worthy farm team either.

[Rujah]

thats why i love the braves. every year its a someone new

rotfl ..... lack of steroids, perhaps???

:thumbsdow The game last night was shameful :sigh:

[delfunk1]

I\'m glad to see Giambi is finally hittin the ball without hittin the juice.  Yea investing 7 digits a year for 40+ year old pitchers is just stupid.  Hell the way last nights game went Im surprised Mel Stottlemyre isn\'t out there pitching.

[Spacey]

They are beginning to let this one slip away too. Red Sox play some solid fundamental baseball and that can not be stopped by a bunch of old-timers.

[delfunk1]

Word on the streets is Cashman is about to sign Al Leiter.  Another old timer
