    Guys, we're five games into the season. I dare any of you to put a couple units on a prop bet saying the Red Sox aren't going to make the playoffs. While their starting pitching is just average, and their bullpen is about the same if not a little worse, they have the hitting to make the playoffs. They are essentially built like the Yankees in the middle of the last decade, they have the hitting to win enough games to get to the playoffs, but you have to wonder if they have the pitching (aside from Lester) to make a deep run in October. Crazy enough, though, October is over 5 months away. You're all going to make predictions based on five games? Come on.

    The last time I saw the Red Sox in the playoffs, they were in Fenway, v. angels, Sox up 6-4 in the ninth, game 3, must win, the savior, Paps-smear on the mound, no way Sox lose this, not with the pathetic 7-8-9 in the order coming up game 4 here we come tomorrow.

    Izturis pops up. 1 down. Yay Sox
    Matthews can 'o corn out. 2 outs. Woo-hoo Sawkies.
    Game 4 here we come.

    Walks aybar, walks Figgins, old man abreau *crushes* a laser beam off the wall double.
    Vlad hits a line drive to center that almost takes Pap-smears head off, third run scores.

    Way to seal the deal Paps.



    Sox lose, tee off time 9am Monday

    It so early in the season. Red Sox will be in the playoff when the season end.

    They must have PTSD after the way Texas stole their lunch money. I hope they get it together soon. I can't believe they are playing so bad. It can only get better. I take that back if they go 0-6.

    Somebody needs to tell Varitek you have to tag the runner, touching home plate doesn't mean he's out.

    Why is this guy even on a ML roster?

    He's an automatic out at the plate, he's got noodle arm, John Kruk could steal second off of him, and he has meatloaf for braines

    Outfield is great with Ellsbury,Crawford, and Drew/Cameron???
    Only hole is possibly catcher but even Varitek has great defense.

    Almost broke my TV when I saw that.

    They should have a designated catcher position, LOL. VTek is without a doubt the best catcher in the league at calling games, but he's borderline useless everywhere else. Although, IIRC, he hit fairly well last year . I can't remember haha

    0 runs on 2 hits through 7.
    Who they facing? Koufax? Seaver? Maddux? Gibson?

    No ! It's Mr. Carmosa, the guy is a career batting practice pitcher, but the Sox make him look like Steve Carlton.

    Top of the order, you guys should get one.

    Let's see how this inning plays out.

    You mean to tell me this mulit million dollar lineup can't get three hits off of Carmosa, Chad Durbin and Perez?

    It's not like Sabathia to Soriano to Mo Rivera
