Lets stay on topic. Red Sox. Don't thread pollute. Mods can fix this. If you need me to bump the initial econ thread where you embarrassed yourself, please ask. Otherwise post your nonsense in the stocks thread where it belongs.

Five games is an absurdly small sample size, the equivalent of the second quarter on opening week of an N.F.L. season. And seven of the eight playoff teams from last season lost five in a row at some point.

Then again, only one team in the wild-card era, the 1995 Cincinnati Reds, has reached the postseason after starting 0-5. No team has won the World Series after starting with so many losses.

This is a super talented team...certainly much more talented than any of the other teams that didn't make the playoffs that started 0-5. Carmona is pitching today so they may very well be 0-6. It will just fatten the line up if you want a future bet on them.

I will take all of the heat on this one (as a Red sox HATER) if they end up not making playoffs. I am confident that they will win the division by at least a couple of games.

Yup. Teams are more than pieces. No gel.

I just think it's funny that Boston fans try to differentiate themselves from the Evil Empire when the rest of the world sees them as the Evil Empire-New England.

I always found that to be a bit comical with Sox fans. Somehow the Yankees "buy" championships but when they sign Manny or Pedro or Crawford or Gonzales, somehow they are "growing" their team the old fashioned way.

Make no mistake, the Sox buy their championships just like any other team.
