Who makes the Playoffs??? Yankees or Red Sox???

[Bulldog]

I was reading about it and I just want to know what you guys thought.
I think both the Yankees and the Red Sox will make the playoffs this year but I sense very few people agree.

Most people think the wild-card will come from the central division.

Here´s the link to the full story.

My guess is Boston wins AL East, Chicago comes back to win the Central and New York outspends Detroit and ends up wining the Wil Card.

What do you guys think??

As much as I want to be zany and say the Blue Jays will do it, I don't believe that.

I'm saying just the Red Sox from the East.

The Red Sox because they're playing defense again this year.

[Razz]

I think Toronto and either Boston or NYY make it.

I'll have some of what Razz is smoking. :smoke:

It's not often you see the Yankees getting + money for making the playoffs:

Sat 7/15 Will the Yankees make the playoffs in 2006?
09:00 AM 201 Yes +140
202 No -157

For the record, I think the east only gets one team and that will be Boston.

I'll have some of what Razz is smoking. :smoke:

How's that? Toronto has the best starting staff of the three teams, and they have the deepest lineup - not the best at the top, but everyone on that team is capable of hitting .300 (except Glaus, who's their big-time power hitter).
Oh, and Toronto is 18-10 against Boston lately (7-4 this year).

"I agree" - What the fcuk? Is that it? Has pags11 taken over your account? Jeez, BGD, if you're paid to post here then I'm sure that the SBR guys expect a little quality to go with the quantity.

Having said, despite the near none-existent nature of your post, this must be the only time you've managed 100% perfect spelling while posting. For this, you get the award for:

I agree

[Razz]

Hopefully the Red Sox keep playing defense like they did last night.

I will be going with the Blue Jays. The pitching is shaky for the Red Sox and Yankeees. The Yanks just signed Ponson, that should really help their chances .
