Sox don't even cheat, still win easily

[Andybob]

Still got faith. And whats even funnier is nobody is running away with the division while the jays are horrible. Whats gonna happen when they arent playing like shit.

They'll play .500 ball?

and they've been beat up by those "good teams"

6-9 against them

and the Yanks are 5-7 vs 'good' teams...less tough games, still in 2nd place....

Over .500

Looks really stupid now... As stupid as the Knicks looked for wearing all black the other day...

Why?


Why wouldn't the comparisons come up?


Of course they would/should.

It's all about providing motivation for the fans... It worked, in spades.


It was one of the best pre-game moments I can ever recall being a part of.

cheapens the 2004 series, IMO...and makes you guys look stupid for drawing the comparisons

I need to more than a month to decipher how good the Sox's are going be this year. I'm not going to put any weight in a split in said month. Unless it was extra-ordinary, like 2-13 or something.

6-9...after a little over a month? Meh. Would hold the exact same opinion of them if they 9-6 vs winning teams...

Blade was right in that this team is a "wait and see"

don't blame ya, would be be tough to pound your chest while your team is behind a team that isn't very good

Agreed...I never said it was definitive proof that they suck...just evidence that they aren't the "best team in baseball"...I agree on the wait and see...I never jumped to any conclusions about the evidence

Man, you guys all went to the same school of arguing...If you're proven wrong or your argument gets destroyed, just make up something the other person never said and claim they said it...

That's called a straw man argument. We have a few posters who have been here a long time who love those.

well what was the point of your constantly pointing out the Sox beating cupcakes? Seems to me you were implying they aren't really that good. You post the same thing in so many diff ways it's hard to know what you really mean but you mentioned cupcakes so often that's what I took from it...

I'm implying that they aren't the "best team in baseball"...you know...what you, rock, and chappee have been implying for weeks?

so for us 'implying' means saying but when you 'imply' and we take you literally we're twisting your words....got it

What did I say that you took literally? I don't believe I ever said the red sox sucked...mind showing me where I "literally" said this?
