He was underrated and deserved to be in the Hall much quicker. He will be greatly missed. Link to post Share on other sites

And the sox lost today big missed opportunity if we dont win this one. Link to post Share on other sites
myenemy 0 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Okay I know the sweep just finished but just for arguments sake let me throw this out there: With 28 games remaining and 3 vs. the Sux, lets presuppose another sweep, that leaves 2 games left behind in the win column to make up for. In the other 25 remaining games, that seems doable. Thoughts? A more reasonable scenario however, is making up only 1 game, winning 2 of 3. Leaving 4 games to make up elsewhere. That seems like a very difficult prospect in 25 games. Link to post Share on other sites
LongLiveYorke 38 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 It feels pretty good to sweep the Sox. Link to post Share on other sites
greatwhite 0 Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 I don't think they'll catch the Sox. However, I do believe that they will win the Wild Card. Seattle isn't that good outside of their bullpen. Link to post Share on other sites

LongLiveYorke 38 Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 I could not believe that they managed to come back in the 9th last night. It's really too bad that they lost. They've blown my two favorite 9th inning comebacks so far (this one and Shelly Duncan's). Link to post Share on other sites

timwakefield 68 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Why are you guys writing them off? They'll still have the largest payroll, why will they suck? I mean they do suck in general as a team, but I think they'll contend for sure. Link to post Share on other sites

TMoneyBags 0 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 And I'm not sure they will have the largest payroll. Losing Alex is 27M off the books, losing Clemens is another 17 I think it was, the remote possibility of losing Posada and/or Rivera and/or Pettitte. All those guys together made almost $85 M last year. Granted, Texas was paying some of Alex's contract, so New York paid almost $80 million to those 5 guys. Throw in the fact that there is no doubt that Boston's payroll is jumping up yet again. Link to post Share on other sites
Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 and I'm praying to all this is holy that they don't pick up the 18 million dollar Abreu option.Boston should surpass us this year, I'm hoping. I'd like to move down that list for once.Giambi and Moose are off the books next year, but we'll have to start paying Cano soon. Link to post Share on other sites

I mean they do suck in general as a team, but I think they'll contend for sure.It depends a lot on what happens to their recently turned free agents. If Rivera, Posada, Pettitte, etc...end up leaving they've got a lot of holes to fill. Even if they come back, they won't necessarily perform at the same level this year (goes triple for Posada). Given the talent that's out there it will be difficult to make up for losing them and ARod. Money's less of an advantage if there's nothing to spend it on.I wouldn't be surprised to see Boston's payroll go down this offseason. A lot is coming off the books and the necessity to spend more isn't there. The Red Sox have very few holes to fill....basically Lowell and Schilling. Anybody they get (Lowell and Schilling included) will cost less than the 22 million they're already paying them plus the 9 million from Clement. It seems like they're projecting to about 140 million for next year compared to what, 160 this year? Of course, I don't have insight into the front office....maybe they make a run at ARod and leapfrog the Yankees. Link to post Share on other sites
