wizard Posted December 13 Report Share Posted December 13 do you sox fans recall last year whatsoever?the yanks had pedro's numba, he couldn't do jack against them.i'll take the shy quiet underated Andy P, who by the way, has like 2 less wins than Pedro in the last 6 years, any day.pipe dream man, pipe dream.stephen------------------we must cultivate our gardens...

sirdante Posted December 13 Author Report Share Posted December 13 youre right about pedro. you yanks fans are always quick to point out how you are the only team with any depth in the middle of your bullpen. but i only mentioned pedro as a "compliment" to the new look of the *offense.*perhaps you need to review that lineup again. i admit, our 3rd best hitter, everett, is *only* as good as *your* 3rd best hitter, but next year, nomar and manny will *produce more* than any of the yankee bats. i will lay money on it. nomar-manny will deliver a devistating one-two punch, with pedro, tim wakefield, and the return of my personal favorite, tom "flash" gordon, as the right hook, body blow, and uppercut!the fact that the yanks of the past few seasons are the best championship team to have ever walked onto a diamond, only makes the newly improved red sox that much more exciting. complacency is, fortunately for you, not one of steinbrenners weaknesses. i am sure the yanks are willing to make some move (if they ever have an opportunity) to counter the acquistion of ramirez.you hit it right on. it is def in the best interest of the yanks and every other AL east team to keep the sox from improving the bullpen. but remember this, the red sox organization almost doubled the price of tickets next year, justifying it by promising to build a championship caliber team. they couldnt prove the seriousness of such intentions any better than shelling out the big $$$ to get ramirez.------------------i love music!

armada Posted December 13 Report Share Posted December 13 I can't wait to see the Sox this season!! They will be truly a team to reckon with. I can just see the Boston Globe headlines now:BOSOX Strikes Again!!May 22, 2001The Boston Red Sox have done it again! This time another member of the team built to win it all, contributed. After the early season declaration by Pedro Martinez "I no pitch unless me big brother given job. Ramon better than anyone but me." lead to the recent sigining of Ramon after Pedro only pitched 4 innings in each of his first 5 starts, the newest Red Sock, Manny Ramirez seems to be fitting right in. After last nights loss to the Yankees, Manny headed down to Washington Heights to meet some old friends. Joined by 3 time suspended teammate Carl Everett, Ramirez and Everett and at least 3 other unidentified males ranging in age from 26-32, were involved in a brawl with a 34 year old man while is wife and 2 kids looked on. Everett, not playing due to his third suspension brought on by a physical attack on manager Dan Duquette who took over for the fired Jimy Williams was happy to be back 'mixing it up' with his new teammate. It is believed that teammate Brian Daubach also participayed in the incident and may have even instigated it. Duquette, fresh off of his statements rgarding his altercation with Everett, "I guess I have to suspend him. I understand his frustration. After all, I was standing near his helmet in the dugout and he was up in like 6 or 7 batters. I think the anger management counseling that he's enrolled in has really helped. I know he hasn't gone to any sessions but the power of suggestion is very powerful." had this to say about last night's event: "Manny must have been happy to see his old friends. He seems to be fitting in with his new teammates and it shows a lot of ability to bring those two worlds together. The guy they attacked seemed to be ok. That's good because I know Carl can hit hard. He's really very quick fisted." Meanwhile, Nomar Garciaparra has sold all Red Sox paraphanalia that he owns, keeping only one home and one road uniform. He has petitoned the league to allow him to wear street clothes while minding shortstop at Fenway. He could not be reached for comment.Should be a great year!!!

myrlin Posted December 13 Report Share Posted December 13 Hitting doesnt win championships. Pitching does.Lets digress the last 8 billion yrs.Oh wait, I dont have to go far. 80's Yankees had hitting bulging from the seam, no pitching = nothing.You would think the Sox would learn something form their rivals. The playoffs this year, the Yankees offense was anemic, yet they won. Why? Pitching.Pitching, pitching, pitching.When , oh, when will your Red Sox learn. Oh, I do have some advice to Boston. Sign Babe Ruth he pitches AND hits.....**cackles madly**------------------ [This message has been edited by myrlin (edited 12-13-2000).] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until you think of a way to pitch PEDRO in every game of the series you will never beat the yanks!Face it!I should remind you that the Red Sox had the best ERA in the American League last year. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/stats/alteampit.html Getting an all-star bat in the line-up is exactly what the Red Sox need to win games. Don't count out the Sox until it's all over. Although they haven't won the World Series since 1918, they have consistently been in the race.------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirdante Posted December 13 Author Report Share Posted December 13 Originally posted by soulshaker:you're gonna need ALOT more than that to even have us consider you a threat.fine. hopefully the yanks losing the pennant will b more than enuf.at least this year, the pinstripes will need to actually put up a good effort *all season*. unless the sox are plagued by injuries again, the yanks in 2001 can not opt to rest up for the playoffs by slacking off like they did last year.------------------i love music!

mrblonde55 Posted December 14 Report Share Posted December 14 Manny Rameriz's is being payed one of the most rediculous salaries in professional sports. Its insane to think that he is worth that amount of money considering he CANT PLAY DEFENSE!!!!!!!!! To spend so much money on a DH is mind melting. They Redsox have gone crazy from years of playing whipping boy for New York sports teams and did all they could to try and improve themselves at apparently ANY cost. The fact remains that good pitching always beats out good hitting. Look at the facts, someone who gets a hit 1 out of 3 times in their career is AMAZING. The scale def tips to the side to the pitching. You can tout Pedro all winter long, but remember come April, hes only gonna be there every 5 days, and unless Manny has an untapped well of pitching talent, the BoSox can go with their overpaid DH, get on line in the Bronx and get World Series Tickets next fall.------------------The fame, it was like a drug......but what was more like a drug were the drugs.How do you shoot the Devil in the back?.....What if you miss?
