World Series Preview 10-23

[rokketmn]

Yes I do feel it. This years team you can never count them out regardless of the score and yes with Clay be very cautious. Just hope it doesn't cost a W in the process.

This team reminds me a lot of, but is more fun to watch and root for, than the 2004 team. That team had the superstars and big egos, and was balanced by the Millars, Muellers, O-Cabs, etc.

This team has no superstars (not really counting Papi), and plays with that same intensity. Maybe more. A lunch pail type of group. It's easy to root for them even if you are not a Sox fan. That is, unless you're a Yankees fan.

Sox lineup:

Ellsbury
Victorino
Pedroia
Ortiz
Napoli
Gomes
Bogaerts -nice bump in the order
Drew - he better start hitting
Ross - seems to be Lester's preferred option

I will take a guess:

Carpenter
Beltran
Holliday
Craig- could be flipped with Molina
Molina
Freese
Adams
Robinson
Kozma

So I leave 2 hours ago figuring I'll spare you Sox fans (well, Brocktagon) the Yankee talk and I come back to find a whole page of Yankee talk with pictures.

Make up your minds FFS.

Gotta say that Boston's club house is a little too friendly when they give each other 'tugs' on their beards.

the yankees used to share a golden thong during giambi's years there

thats about as gay as gay can be gay

Lester can't get hung up worrying about guys on base, and concentrate on throwing consistent strikes. He needs to go to his straight fastball a little more, and not rely on the cutter unless he is trying to put a hitter away.

A 92-93 mph fastball is still a good pitch, if located well enough.

The Padres Triple-A affiliate moved from Tuscon to El Paso and the team held a contest to choose its new name. The squad will now be known as the El Paso Chihuahuas.




Word is that the team is full for small and scrappy fighters..........
