Yes, I am a concerned RED SOX fan

Fishhead · Aug 25, 2005

Schilling ripped in his first start back in the rotation.

This is only ONE of my concerns.

The Red Sox are not much better than a 50-50 chance of making the playoffs at this rate.

Yes, I am extremely worried.

Phish,

They are just like every other American league team. No worries its all in the Bats! I would like to think that they won't have to play the Angels this year as they are the only team out there that can slug and pitch when they are on!

STL WINS IT ALL in my opinion. 2nd best chance to the Braves. Angels No 3 then the field.

50/50 huh? I will give you "no they won't make the playoffs" +120. Of course we will post up with a reputable 3rd party.

Wanna put your money where your mouth is Fishy?

If they lose tonight, they have a mere 2.5 game lead in AL EAST and only a 2.5 game lead in the wild card race over Oakland.

I am a tad concerned for sure.

A's are going no where! all young kids and zito. Come on! Indians and Yanks are the real threats with the one two punch and possible knockout!.

So I guess your answer is no then?

Fishhead · Aug 25, 2005

Dub- I think the Indians just may win the wild card...............and I still believe the Red Sox will win the east.

No, as I would want more than +120.

How can any Red Sox fan give a crap about this team?!

Theyve been a disgrace to the organization since the winter of '04.

Nothing to take pride in what so ever. Simply hate this group of jokers, I could care less if they win the WS I wont go to the parade this time around these losers wouldnt deserve anyone going to it.

Prideless wimps.

You can Yanks +210 to win the AL East at Sportbet

I seriously looked into it after tonight and was going to pull the trigger for everything I had at Sportbet, but saw the following:

<table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" height="84" width="344"> <tbody><tr class="ysptblthbody1" align="right"><td class="yspdetailttl" align="left" height="18" width="19%">East</td> <td class="yspdetailttl" width="6%">W</td> <td class="yspdetailttl" width="7%">L</td> <td class="yspdetailttl" width="7%">Pct</td> <td class="yspdetailttl" width="7%">GB</td> <td class="yspdetailttl" width="7%">Home</td> <td class="yspdetailttl" width="7%">Road</td> <td class="yspdetailttl" width="8%">

</td> <td>
</td></tr></tbody> </table>

NY has played 65 games at home, the Sox have only played 56. That is nine extra home games and I don't think there is much of a shot for NYY to make up 3 games in the loss column with 9 fewer home games. Maybe it is worth +210, though - but not yet. I will wait a few days.

Why doesn't Curt just take 3 weeks off and work on his mechanics? Something has to be wrong, no need rushing him back into the rotation or even the pen.

Journeyman · Aug 26, 2005

He's got to still be hurt, how else can you explain it?

Everytime i see him release the ball , its obvious even on TV the velocity isn't the same, and he's not getting the push from his ankle.

You have 5 teams all with question marks...I think Anaheim 'right now' is the best team, just by a hair, none of these teams are that good.

You sound like a Yankee fan.

Sorry, I am bit disgruntled. We just lost 2 games to the Royals and our SS is from a team we beat 4-0 in the WS last year.
