Redsox will win 97 games and the AL East

[MayorOfAmerica]

As much as I wished this were true, the sox are looking up at TB and NYY for the division. I've got 88 wins.

 

[spaceman]

team won 91 last yr, with worst collapse in "history" in sept
buchholz was out the whole year
lackey was a tomato can
dicek will be back as early as may
they were a joke but still managed to win 90+ withc rawford giving them nothing as well
i think the ptiching will not only hold but surprise
thing are gonna to break the sox way this yr.

 

[spaceman]

and i hate to say..i know one season has no bearing with the other
but if i were a rangers fan i wouldnt like my chances of making the show 3 yrs running
5 game trap set in the alds
been down that road, the nelson cruz thing prolly wont be soon forgotten unfortunately for tx fans :/

 

[MetalMat]

Who cares?

The AL sucks donkey dick.

Sucks that they are moving the Astros to the AL next season, I can't stand the DH rule

Oh god, the cancer is spreading!

[basslover1]

You mean essentially the same team that was supposed to run away with it last season?

Yea, I doubt it.

 

[iRONic]

Melancon + Aceves yesterday = fail.

Sox battled back after a classic Verlander domination but gave it up in the bottom of the ninth.

 

[SP33Demon]

That team is almost as big of a joke as the Yankees, so nope.

Everybody who goes there ends up sucking like Crawford, and the only reason they won 2 rings was b/c of Schilling.

 

[BlahBlahYouToo]

lol. They'll get 97 and lose the East to the Yankees.

one of the few times i'll agree with amd.

[RavenSEAL]

It's ok guys, we went over this and the Rays are going 162-0.

It's the ownership. They're become fucking terrible now. After winning 2 championships, they've become more about marketing the team and making $$$ then actually winning again. Hence you get ridiculous signings like Crawford (TV ratings were slumping big time at the end of the season before they signed him).

And Schilling was on the team in name only for pretty much the entire 2007 season. That was Beckett's year.

Rays are not making it to the postseason

 

[HardcoreRobot]

I took the Rays to win the AL East:

Winner of 2012 AL East
Tampa Bay Rays 6.050

Bet some over/unders too; we'll see how those go:

Atlanta Braves Regular Season Wins
Under 87.5 Wins 1.676

Arizona Diamondbacks Regular Season Wins
Over 86.5 Wins 1.893

NY Yankees Regular Season Wins
Under 94.5 Wins 1.877

San Francisco Giants Regular Season Wins
Under 87.5 Wins 1.735

Such a long wait to see the results!

[spaceman]

im wayyy off

:x

 

[Terzo]

Not only that, Baltimore has the best current record! They just might be able to end the season above .500!

 

[dank69]

im wayyy off
...

Sox fans usually are.

 

[erikistired]

LOL Redsox

Isn't that the team that had to use steroids to win their championships? Or was it the team that drank beer and fried chicken while losing the division?

HAHAH, what a joke of a team.

you might be thinking of the yankees.

 

[JS80]

Pretty sure hell is freezing over

 

[Upgrade_Itch]

book it

Red Sox have Bobby Valentine as manager (asswipe) and no pitching at all. Welcome to last place. Bobby V gets fired before the All Star break.

book it.

No, I'm talking about the Red Sox. Are you another blind fanboy who can't admit to it?

Manny and Ortiz used performance enhancing drugs during their two championships. Red Sox are chumps and have never won a legit title.

As a long time Orioles fan, I'd suggest people look at the Orioles of 2005. I've been through this whole "get hyped up before the All Star Break" thing before. This time I'm just going to pace myself.
