Official Boston Red Sox Thread

[justindlawson]

Ok all you red sox fans.. come in here to discuss the team. Smart baseball fans only....not "yankees suck"...cuz ya we hate them...but they dont suck. you feel me?

[chaos212]

*from New England...cant stand the Red Sox*

sorry just thought I'd share the hate...

[justindlawson]

^^lol your from providence...you should be a yankee fan.. lol thats why its the boston red sox...not new england red sox haha. i love providence. im glad you like my college tho :) go PC!

[chaos212]

i live in the PC area...

[shonuff12]

^^lol your from providence...you should be a yankee fan.. lol thats why its the boston red sox...not new england red sox haha. i love providence. im glad you like my college tho :) go PC!

my friend Providence is a HELL of lot closer to Boston than it is to NY...and on top of that, the Paw Sox are right in RI...it makes logical sense for RI people to root for the Sox. Besides if the Sox were only limited to those fans who lived in Mass, who should all the people in Maine and N.H. root for?

[NickthaQuick1]

i live in the Providence area (cumberland) for school but im from boston and am a so fan...dice K should be a good investment... havnt really looked into their new roster, ill watch a few games and make my predicitions



oh yeah




















yankees suck!:finger:

[chainz97]

from the heart of boston 617...red sox taking the championship this year....matsuzaka for cy young

[BoSox84]

My brother just moved up near Boston, so I'ma catch a game at Fenway when I go up to visit him this summer. Can't wait, I fu*kin love Fenway

[RakimAllahNY]

Redsox>>>>>>>>>>

[justindlawson]

i know provie is alot closer to Boston to NY. im just sayin that its like half yankees half sox. its weird. rhode island people even speak with NY accents. but ya sox are a new england team anyway. whats up with jd drews error last night. wtf

[shonuff12]

:lol: @ you saying RI people speak with NY accents...maybe the college kids...TRUST, my girl goes to Roger Williams University...there are very few people there who live there all year with NY accents

[chaos212]

word....RI culture is mixed with NY and Boston, (NYC people who are sick of the city life but dont wont to move out to the boons come to Providence/Pawtucket and people come down from Boston), so yea we got a mixed background, but we definitely have Boston accents...no fu*k that..its RHODE ISLAND ACCENTS! fu*k yall Boston heads thinking yall pahk the cah first...

[BoSox84]

I got a friend who is from Rhode Island that's down here for school. He's definitely got a Boston-ish accent

[tmurda]

F@$k the red sox

[AuToMaTiK]

gotta love papi taking 2 deep tonight, and schilling looked good as sh*t

[beantownbison]

Hope these guys get it done tonight

[justindlawson]

on the accents...maybe your right. i knew a few people that talked like that...esp when they said the word coffee. but i just looked it up on google and there were 2 simple articles that said something about rhode island sounding like new yorkers. so ya id say they got more of a boston accent. i stand corrected. lol.


ps ya that was nice that papi hit those 2 homers. how nice did paplebon look? :-D

[askifan04]

i hate the fu*king red sox...but i do wish our Japanese guy was good as yours

[BoSox84]

Papelbon was dominant last night

[RakimAllahNY]

Ortiz and Papelbon are fu*king siiiiiiiiiiiick.. JD Drew gonna tear it up this year. I tried tellin nigga's this

[SSdivehard]

I'm a sox fan and i live in NY =-) upper NY but still NY. They are lookin a hell of alot better than the end of last year.

[justindlawson]

jd drew has a hit in every game this year...thats what i like to see. but trot is tearing it up as well.

[BoSox84]

I still don't like the idea of Drew wearing Trot's #7. I'm not a fan of Drew at all, and I was one of Trot's biggest fans while he was in Boston

[justindlawson]

^^the redsox have a thing with replacing old players numbers with the new players.. oh well. trot was a good man.

[DBiLL 1]

Home Opener......I'll be there

[Robby Digital]

Red Sox blow, they'll probably get the Wildcard at best :lol: - That Jap is gonna get rocked like Byung-Hyung Kim when he finally pitches to a real lineup like the Yankees. Manny and Schilling will be gone after this year...

A-Rod = 2007 AL MVP, All-Star game MVP, and World Series MVP!!

[RakimAllahNY]

lmao @ Arod being MVP of the WS. Give it a month and you guys will hate him..


JD DREW... Nice home run.. Hes gonna be a beast :blunt: :blunt:

[BoSox84]

A Rod will never win the WS MVP because even if they win the WS, he will hit .180 while they do it

[shonuff12]

A Rod will never win the WS MVP because even if they win the WS, he will hit .180 while they do it

:rolleyes: @ you cats who totally forget his post season career previous to game 4 of the 04 ALDS

now let the hate begin

[justindlawson]

y come here and say that? you guys were still vicitims of the best comeback in sports history...26 championships before baseball mattered to us. they havent won since 2000. thats so long ago.

[Datruth345]

no run support for dice k

[Jerzyfam]

y come here and say that? you guys were still vicitims of the best comeback in sports history...26 championships before baseball mattered to us. they havent won since 2000. thats so long ago.


I've loved the Yankees since like 91 and will continue till I die. I don't care if they go like 10-150. That's my team and I'm sticking with them. I hate the Red Soxs almost as much as I hate Lil Wayne :lol:

[shonuff12]

y come here and say that? you guys were still vicitims of the best comeback in sports history...26 championships before baseball mattered to us. they havent won since 2000. thats so long ago.

how old are you?

I'm fu*kin 25...baseball mattered to me in 1996 and 1998-2000. They were also in the series in 01 and 03...

[shonuff12]

no run support for dice k

well it also didn't help that he walked in the winning run

[justindlawson]

im 24. but i was referring to the world series of the past not the recent run of them. i dont deny the yankees are the best team in sports history. i know they are.

[shonuff12]

you said "26 championships before baseball mattered to us" that pretty much includes those recent ones maybe you meant a different #

[Robby Digital]

Is 6 years really THAT long ago when discussing World Championships?? I'd rather my team win 26 championships with none over the past 6 years, than 1 WS every century.. :lol:

[mt fuji]

thats like the only great thing that ever happened in ya franchise

fu*k the redsox,sh*t fu*k boston


period!!!!and what!!!

[justindlawson]

lets not forget back in the day. the sox ran sh*t. they won like the first 10 WS or some sh*t.

anyway. whats up with your boy Mariano?

[shonuff12]

lets not forget back in the day. the sox ran sh*t. they won like the first 10 WS or some sh*t.

:lol:

not quite, they won like 3 or 4 out of the first 15. It's confusing because there were the Boston Pilgrims, the Boston Braves and the Sox and I don't know how they are all related.

Either way, there is no doubt the Sox are one of the greatest bseball franchises ever, despite that insane "curse" thing.



anyway. whats up with your boy Mariano?

no fu*kin clue...Torre totally mismanaged the game.

Hopefully Mariano will turn it around like he did a few years back (05 I think) where he blew his first two saves (both against the sox I think) and then went on to convert 31 in a row

[justindlawson]

i dont get how myers cant come in and get his only batter out. my best friend is a die hard yanks fan. he was pissed. but arod= the man. totally unbelievable the way he is playin right now.

[RakimAllahNY]

Nice fu*king game.. Finally the offense showed up. With our pitching vs theres after this game we should sweep.. Should be interesting.. JD Drew was ballin

[knicks5064]

the red sox can eat a fat d*ck

[BoSox84]

Hopefully Coco can keep some momentum from that at bat and snap out of his funk

[justindlawson]

ya coco needed that boost. jd drew is so underatted. i love watching him at bat...

ok all you sox haters go make a yankee thread and talk about how much you love the yankees. you sound very immature sayin they can eat a fat d*ck. would you like to see that? should they broadcast that for you>

[justindlawson]

Player/ERA

Tim Wakefield 1.35
Josh Beckett 1.50
C Schilling 3.81
D Matsuzaka 2.70
J Tavarez 6.75


not bad i say

[djsteveo]

Im Going To The Game Tommorrow Night Motherfu*kers!!!!!11!

[shonuff12]

Player/ERA

Tim Wakefield 1.35
Josh Beckett 1.50
C Schilling 3.81
D Matsuzaka 2.70
J Tavarez 6.75


not bad i say

yea it's alright..but how many of them are going to stay that way in the AL east...we both know Wakefield isn't going to finish with that ERA and Beckett never had an ERA under 3 in the NL through a full season...it's like Mets players talkin about John Maine having a 1.92....it's not going to last. Same thing applies to Andy Petite and his 1.85..it's unreasonable to think that will last.

Look at the ERA leaders for the AL in the last 20 years, only 2 times did the ERA leader have an ERA under 2..and it was Pedro and Roger Clemens...and I don't think anyone here is going to disparage those two excellent pitchers by saying Tim Wakefield, Beckett, and even Pettite are of the same quality.

[BoSox84]

I won't say Beckett is gonna finish under 2, nor will Wake, but I like what I've seen so far. The thing with Wake is, he started this way last year too, but he was getting the Clemens treatment as far as run support. I can see us with 3 different guys finishing the season around 3.50 (Beckett, Schilling, and Dice-K)

[justindlawson]

back to back to back to back....SWEEP. but still dice k is scaring me. yet when i watch him pitch he looks nasty. i just dont get the add up of the runs. and oh ya jonathon "you cant catch up to my heat" papelbon looks great.

[BoSox84]

That back-to-back-to-back-to-back was in-fu*king-credible

[Robby Digital]

^ yeah that was crazy - ya'll dominated our weak ass minor league pitchers but once we get our real arms back things will get interesting...:finger:

What do ya'll think about Philip Hughes getting moved up? They're saying he's a definite future Cy-Young winner...The Sox will probably see him this weekend

[goulet]

Yankees are in trouble. Not because they don't have a nasty team but because they have so many games against the red sox early in the year and they are already down 3 - 0 and they are banged up. It's gonna be a tough mid to late year rally for them if they leave the first 2 sox series down 5 - 1

its only April, these first two series' are barely relevent....the real question will be if we can get healthy and stay healthy...

[justindlawson]

the good thing about the sox is that we see Tampa bay in july. now thats a good thing if we can handle them. just gives us a weak team to face towards the end strecthes. i think phillip hughes is gonna do big things. i like what ive read about him.

[HaroldRainz]

Our rotation gets even better next week when lester comes back from his cancer

schilling/beckett/dice k/wakefield/lester < whos fu*kin wit that

[justindlawson]

wakefield...best era in the A.L.

[shonuff12]

wakefield...best era in the A.L.

until he goes into his normal pattern...beckett has a much better chance of keeping up his good record...wake always has a few games where his knuckler just isn't there

[justindlawson]

^^ ya wake scares me. im like 1-3 ok we got a good chance...4-5 lucky if we win

[justindlawson]

Baseball Prospectus predicts that the Yankees now have a 3.87% chance of winning the A.L. East.


The folks at CoolStandings.com predict that the Yankees now have a 8.2% chance of winning the A.L. East.


Further, Prospectus says the Yankees have a 23.34% of making the post-season, in general, whereas Cool Standings has them at 36.6%.


Wow, and it's only May 17th.


A 4-8% chance of winning the East and a 23-37% chance of making the playoffs, period. Those are some very long odds, huh?

[justindlawson]

10.5 games up ahead of the yanks....not bad people say its early. but games gotta be won at some point...and its the beginning of the year is the yankee fans excuses..but we are almost in june. then its july but there is always an excuse. 10.5 games outta first and that rotation i would be pretty scared.

wonder what the odds were in 05 :rolleyes:

or the odds that one team would have 26 rings while no one else has more than 9

or the odds that a team finishes the year with a .690 winning % like the sox have

[shonuff12]

it's like a broken record..in 05 we were 3 games over .500 on June 20th..and we won the AL east again...

and the sox are not going to finish the season with a .690 winning %

[justindlawson]

pitchers in 2005

lol how so? how many of those players really pitched in 05?

Kevin Brown pitched 13 games in 05..that's not even HALF a season
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/stats?playerId=1837

Pavano had 17 starts
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/stats?playerId=3784

Wright Pitched 13 games
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/stats?statsId=5839

they were replaced by Al Leiter, Aaron Small, Shawn Chacon, Sean Henn, Darrell May, and Tim Redding...and we STILL came back and won the division :lol:

so what exactly is your point? oh wait..you don't have one

and at least get our lineup this year right:

1)Mike Mussina
2)Andy Pettitte
3)Chien-Ming Wang
4)Roger Clemens
5)Phillip Hughes? Tyler Clippard? Matt DiSalvo?

looks pretty solid up that #5 spot....

Don't forget about Rasner or Karstens....:applause:

[justindlawson]

mussina aka gettin smoked

[shonuff12]

Don't forget about Rasner or Karstens....:applause:


yea if they ever come back from injury

[shonuff12]

mussina aka gettin smoked

it had less to do with mussina than it had to do with Tavarez owning us again..honestly those last few runs mussina got hosed because crisp was out at second for the 3rd out..shouldn't have gotten any runs that inning at all..

but like I said, it was tavarez who won this game (or out bats who lost it depending on how you look at it). Tavarez is ASS against EVERYONE EXCEPT the yankees...:thefukk:

[justindlawson]

oh ya...by the way. we won lol

lol @ resurrecting a thread that had no replys for 7months.

[valleyshoes90]

Red Sox blow, Beckett is a beast.
Funny how they steam rolled but they always get put over the Yankees knees and get spanked.
Now you just need 24 more championships to catch up.

Joba for president@!

[justindlawson]

lol i had to show people that dreams came true
