Bump.

It's official.

Rattled off 3 in a row now...

I'm not ready to give up on them just yet...

As long as TFM is touting they are done, they have a chance.

The supposedly dead Red Sox are 2 games out of the wildcard.
David Ortiz has 10 HR's, 9 in May.

They have 4 games coming up against KC, 3 against Oak, 3 against the O's and 4 against Cleveland over the next two weeks. They may be ahead of the Yankees by June 10.

Playing some mighty good ball to boot.

still think the are cooked , they'll hang in for a while in june , but , a tough west coast trip to col and sf won't help in late june , but the killer will come in late july when they have 10 games out west against oak , sea and laa

don't worry chuck i'll be up at the spa and eddie k will have some good 2 yr olds that we can talk about in late july that will help take your mind off the red sox

:tro::tro:

my mind is rarely on the Red Sox and never on Eddie K.Though i was wondering when Colorado (outside of Jimenez starts) or SF (outside Linecum/Cain starts) were such tough teams. Or Oakland, Seattle or LAA for that matter?

have to say I was wondering the same thing. Though they could have added the Phillies to that list. Phils cant beat the Red Sox even if it was life or death.

Stop the pouting. Things will be fine. Brad Lidge is back...

Scary

I'm not too worried. Though the Phillies cant beat the Red Sox even when they are firing from all weapons.

now is when the going gets tough for these red sox let's see what they do over the next 48 game stretch

they sit 2 games behind the yanks in the loss column

i say when aug 15 rolls around it will be a lot bigger defecit for them to overcome

in my opinion it will be too great

of the 48 games 32 will be on the road where they just don't play nearly as well as they do at fenway

i give them 13 -19 on those road games

the 16 games at home , they should go 11-5 on the homes games which , will have them going 24-24 or .500 over the next 48 games , not eneough to keep the pace with thy yanks or rays

sorry chuck

Marty, The Red Sox actually have a better winning % on the road then the Yanks.

take a look at the teams that they have played on the road to date

now take a look at the road trips coming up in this next 48 game strectch

2 trips to the west coast

and a 10 game trip at the end with ny , tor and tex

how many west coast swings have they had so far , how many times have they played in balt , they don't get balt at all on this trip

they gotta face jiminez in colorado and lincecum in sf this week , not going to be easy

put me down for 24-24 over the next 48 , what do you think they will go over the stretch?

The next 48 gme stretch? LOL! That's close to 1/3rd of the season. You havent been right about Boston yet. You just take numbers out of the sky, make projections on those numbers and declare this as gospel?

This entire thread has been laughable since it was started. The race should be great this summer and if any team were to fade my money would be on Tampa since many of their pitchers way overperformed early in the season and may be on their way to evening out.

I just think that they are getting it done right now without Beckett and Dice K (other various injuries). What's going to happen when those guys come back? Also you would think that they are going to upgrade the offense in the near future (heard rumors of Prince Fielder). And for some reason they decided to get into the Cliff Lee sweepstakes, they could have a truely scary rotation. Not sure about the next 48, obviously the health of the team remains a mystery. But they do have games against the Birds and Tribe at home. So my guess is 27-21 in the next 48.

these numbers are not out of the sky chuck

they are 43-28

they have played 41 at home and only 30 on the road

they are 17-13 on the road with no west coast trips yet , they get 2 west coast trips over the next 48 games chuck

the red sox will be done by travers day chuck , they will at best go .500 over these next 48 games

Why do you think they will have trouble on the West Coast? Seattle is awful, oakland is average at best, The Angels are not a great team at home and are having pitching issues, The West coast NL teams just arent that good especially matched up with AL teams. Boston is 43-28 and are currently trotting an outfield of Daniel Nava, Darnell McDonald and Bill hall...and winning. They have the deepest pitching staff, best bullpen and are leading the league in offensive production. This despite missing Ellsbury and Cameron for most of the season and Beckett for quite a few starts.

And unlike Tampa they may add at the deadline. You are so biased against them that you confuse wishful thinking with reality.
