Is it a coincidence that the Red Sox led the division from April-August and lost it in September?

Originally Posted by VonErich Lives Yeah, 1 WS in 86 years, how many did the Mariners have? Have they ever even been to the WS? It's like a game last year when the Devil Rays fans started chanting 1918, yeah, when you win one you get to talk.

If in 2063 the Mariners are still titless, go ahead, make fun. If in 2084 the Rays are still titleless, go ahead, make fun. How many teams not called the Diamondbacks or Marlins win the WS in their first few years of existence?

Originally Posted by VonErich Lives Mariners, 3 div titles, 4 post season appearances since 1977. Red Sox, 4 dic titles, 8 post season apperances, 2 AL Pennents and 1 WS, since 1977. Yeah, the sox had good teams before and lost to good teams.

The weird thing about this sentence is if you put "Mariners" in for "Sox" it makes just as much sense.

Originally Posted by VonErich Lives How did the sox screw up? "Buy" Manny Ramirez, David Ortiz, Keith Foulke and Pedro Martinez? Manny was a big price free agent, same with Foulke.

Exactly. No one could afford them except Boston or New York. They chose Boston. That's called buying a player.

LOL oh man. Which of these do you think went down VEL

A.
Montreal GM: Man, this Pedro kid just isn't doing it. He's hit his prime, there's really no use for him now.

Boston GM: Yes! Now I can unload career #4 starters Carl Pavano and Tony Armas Jr. for the best pitcher in baseball! What a sly GM I am!

B.
Montreal GM: Shit, Pedro is 25 now and everybody knows he's the next big thing. When his contract expires he's going to ask for $10 mil+ so I better trade him now or I'll get nothing when he becomes a FA.

Boston GM: Horray for money!

I love when Yankees/Red Sox fans argue that trades mean that the players weren't bought. Do you think the Expos could've paid Pedro 13 million dollars a year?

Originally Posted by VonErich Lives Ortiz was a free agent, but it wasn't big, no one wanted him at the time, it was Manny who told the sox to go get him.

You're right, Ortiz was a very average DH in Minnesota. But when he came up to Boston not only did he magically get bigger, he magically doubled his home run production!

Could it be... nah, good find Manny!

Originally Posted by VonErich Lives Anyway Wiz, nothing's "blown" yet, a sox win or cleveland loss and the Sox get the WC, same spot they won the WS from last year.

VEL I am telling you right now your name "The Wiz" is very hurtful to me. I've already started with suicide help hotlines but if it doesn't stop I may have to contact the authorities or take you to court.

I know I always have to say something 2 or 3 times before you respond when you know you're wrong, but why does what team I root for take away my ability to express an opinion on an unrelated topic?
