????

8 to 10 games!

I voted 20. For what that man is being paid I expect 99.9% outs. I expect complete games. I expect pitching both games of a doubleheader. 8 to 10. Don't you wish.

Papelbon "okay"?

I'm going to go with 14-16. I really believe that the Red Sox are the team to beat this year. I know that there are alot of unknowns with their pitching, but I predict that Schilling will pitch well, Dice-K will be adequate, Beckett will come around and be decent, Wakefield will be, well...Wakefield and Papelbon (should he start) will be ok. I think if the starters keep their ERAs below 4.00 (even low 4.00s should be ok), the offense will put up enough runs to win lots of games. We'll see this offensive juggernaut help cover up for an unstable bullpen, too.

So having said that, I think any starter for the Red Sox is certainly capable of 14 wins...17 or more wins may take a better pitching performance than just "adequate".

Papelbon ok? Papelbon is another Clemens. You haven't had the advantage of seeing him pitch live...

Why is there a poll on this thread that will become useless in around May? Can they be removed and replaced with other polls?

You do realize that it's a new season, right? That the Yankees, contrary to NY fans' perceptions, aren't automatically granted first place during ST?

Hmmmmmm. Let's see how low we can go. Please find Beantown on this map (ST standings).

New name for Beantown: Basement Bertha!

Ahhhhhhhhh, that felt good.

I have no idea who put a poll in there specific to one team and player. I've removed the poll results, but don't know how to remove the poll itself. Weird.

Pretty easy to be on top in ST when you have no farm system.

The *censored*???

Ranked 7th by BA

Ranked 4th by BP

Ranked 6th by Keith Law of ESPN

And

Research more. It's more like Red Sox losing more since they have less farm system and less depth of MLB team

Eh, "experts," what do they know? How can I be afraid of a team named the "Scranton Wilkes-Barre Yankees?"

Oh, they are scarier than all other Red Sox minor league system teams...

**Erik Bedard** · 03-06-2007, 03:00 PM

But guess which team stakes a claim to BA's NUMBER ONE prospect?

BTW, ST means absolutely nothing. Or maybe the Orioles will win the AL East this year. I'd much rather have the second. Might take some of the sense of entitlement away from the Yankees and Red Sox fans.

I thought it was Scranton Will-Bare > (Insert changed spelling of Scranton here.)

They said they might go with Scranton Wilkes-Barre Trade Baiters , but it was a little too big to fit on the front of the jerseys.

Your > You are > You're A Contraction. I suppose expecting a YFan to know basic math and English is a bit much. (I'm assuming you were born within the boundaries of New Yawk State.) Public Profile shows age=2. Is that how high you can count? Your emotional age? Your shoe size?

That suit does belong on a Yankee. It's an early warning system for females with class, and extremely good taste. (Like me.)

March 12th, City of Palms. All you Yfans clean your corner of shame, have your beer cans set up with straws...diluting beer by crying in it...

Did you know that when you go to heaven, you will be put upside down in a barrel of all the beer you have ever spilled or spoiled? If you drown...It's part of Heaven's spam filter.

I've been away too long. May the Red Sox win, may neither team have any injuries. May the Yankees stay on the field, not in the stands. (I was there.) May I see more HR from Tek. (I saw the first.) May I see a Y bench coach charge DiceK. ( I was there, too.) May I see a new kid lights out closer. (Yep, was there when JP pitched Fenway for the first time.)

I don't get to many games, but things happen.

She's back!!

Just a child prodigy

Hmmm, what does that make the great Phillip Hughes? I suppose Pete Alexander or Walter Johnson (Unquestionably the two greatest pitchers of all-time).

Here's a joke for laugh:

When a Cubs fan asked God about the next time Cubs will win the pennant, God answered- "Not in your life"

When a Pittsburgh fan and his new-born daughter asked God about the next time Pirates will win the World Series, God answered- "Not in your daughter's life"

When a Red Sox fan and his whole family asked God about the next time Red Sox will win the division, God answered- "Not in my life"

Had to change the original joke after 2004, huh?

And how did a Yankee's fan hear about this? They never talk to God much anyways, usually this guy:

Devil Ned Flanders??? I know that's from THOH IV from Simpsons season 5, but nah...

And yes, given to how Sox fans are 'passionate' to their team, it's more like they pray the satan. Unclassy fans
