Fact Or Fiction #6: The Red Sox will beat the Yanks in the ALCS

[Splaya]

Discuss now :mad:

[BCWWF]

I would think so. The reason the Twins lost was because we couldn't match the offensive production. We had plenty of hits but we had trouble driving them in. The Red Sox won't have that problem and they have a 1/2 pitching combo as good if not better than the Twins. It really is theres to lose now.

[MoRcHeEbA]

Fact, then they'll lose the world series to the Cardinals :love:

[MoRcHeEbA]

although another Stima flip out session would be good :(

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I DONT KNOW

I kinda dont wanna get my hopes up, since its the Sox but at the sametime I don't want to be the typical negative Boston fan either :mad:

[MoRcHeEbA]

Yea I am balling my eyes right now, how did you know?
obviously im pissed off dick

You keep bringing shit about yourself, nobody cares about your or the ****ing bluejays right now. And your not even from Toronto, you could just say any team is "your team" if you really wanted to.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

yeah, he thought he was the man because he "got me mad on a message board" I would have been mad anywhere. Sox were 5 outs away from the World Series and they lost :mad:

ok, Fact or Fiction make no sense on things that aren't a given...

Anyway, yeah... on paper the Sox should win... but they should have last year also.

If Pedro is back like the last game, the Sox have the pitching, which is how the Yanks have always won... it wasn't the big hitting they had, it was Clemens, Pettite, Wells, Mussina and the list goes on.

The sox have the SP and the Pen... the closer nod still goes to NYY, but the sox have pretty good luck against him.

As for a WS, nah cheebs, won't be the Cards... will be Clemens winning 3 of the 4 games and 2 of them in Fenway :).

game 7, Bagwell hits a HR in the 9th for a 1 run lead (AL is home) and then 2 outs, tieing run on 1st... Ortiz is left in the game, and Trot gets a base hit to shallow right and Ortiz gets waved home and is dead at the plate.

Astros win, Astros win, Thhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhe Astros win...

yeah, I'm a Red Sox pessimest! :)

[Savio]

Have they ever beat the Yankees post season? ;)

[YOUR Hero]

Cheeba's prediction is my prediction.

Yes they will beat the Yankees, but loose to the Cards.

[VonErich Lives]

Have they ever beat the Yankees post season? ;)

and that means a lot... like it's been stated before, I think they only met twice, because before the WC they never could have met... so oh yeah... 0-2... that makes a difference in a different year w/ different players.

It's simple, the Yanks always won w/ pitching, and defense, the hitting came 2nd. The sox always had hitting and defense and pitching came 2nd.

This years the roles are reversed.

If the Yanks still have Pettitte and Clemens, then it's a different story.

Fiction, fiction fiction fiction

Although I am pretty worried, GO YANKEES

[FakeLaser]

I'm a huge Yankee fan but I don't know

[DegenerationY]

Here's to hoping it's "fact"

[loopydate]

I wish it was fact, but these are the Yankees we're talking about. And these are the Red Sox we're talking about. Boston will find a way to lose.

[MRAT=VEGETABLES]

Last year i walked out of Game 7 at Yankee Stadium not knowing wether or not the better team won. Then i realized it was the Red sox.
THEY think there cursed

[Molly fan 25]

I don't know, but I hope the Red Sox destroy the Yankee's. I'm not a Red Sox fan, but I hate the Yankee's, kill the Yankee's tear apart, make them suffer!

[BCWWF]

Technically the Red Sox should be a lot better right now, but its the ALCS and its obviously going to be pretty close and not exactly what its like on paper.

[Gertner]

fact. red sox pitching is better.

[John la Rock]

FICTION

Yanks have good enough starting pitching to get to their bullpen (Quantrill - Gordon - Rivera)

Yanks have far superior hitting and are better managed club
