So the fuck what?

The AL team with the most wins last year was 47-44 vs above 500 teams. I'm sure during the course of the year, there were times during the year where the Yankees record vs winning teams look like what the Red Sox does or worse..

If the Argument is. The Red Sox are not a Dominate nor truly the best? I agree. I think the Tigers and Ranger are better teams.. It wont persuade anyone thinking they are still a really good team though..

Red Sox are an enigma. They area 'wait-and-see' team. Don't really know what they can or can't do. They only have 3-4 guys left over from when they were true contenders. They look good now, but haven't really seen enough of them yet to know whether they can sustain it all year long or not.

Only one thing for sure is that jealous little pussies like Uno and Pete need to do whatever they can to discredit the RSox.

I agree.

I'm not sure how good they really are after only 1 month. But results have been nice so far..
and their schedule won't be any less cupcake for them for the rest of the year than It was to this point.

Red Sox Regress..it'll be because everyone stopped playing over their heads.

It will be interesting to see what kind adjustments the league makes to Buchholz his second time through the league or whether the cheating allegations will have an affect on his mental game.

Umm that's not exactly a good record...it only proves the point further...the variables may fluctuate, but their record against good teams continues to hover around .500


Their record against bad teams is really good though...


too bad they don't only play cupcakes like they did in April


Beating up on bad teams, while playing .500 ball against good ones sounds like a winning formula to me.

Yankees have been doing it for donkeys years.

That's exactly how winning teams do it.

I didn't say they aren't a really good team (to this point)...only that they've beat up on the cupcakes and they won't continue to have the best record in baseball...especially with the corrections due for some of these starters soon

playing (and losing to) good teams is how you get into slumps...just saying...not really easy to get into a slump facing blue jays pitchers every 3rd series

most of us seem to be in agreement, then there's the NYY fan....

Actually scal agrees with me...you argue with me and then revert to "I don't really care, I'm just enjoying this"...then you argue...then revert to "it doesn't matter...best record in baseball"....lather rinse repeat...get new material

Meh. I was just trying to redirect everyone's attention back the torontos failure. Especially after raptor4life talked so much shit.

he agreed that the red sox aren't "the best team in baseball" despite their record...which was the point of me bringing up the cupcake schedule in the first place...he agreed...you're twisting it

Looking at the sox june schedule, I won't be surprised if we get a better indicator of how good the sox are by the end of then...I'm willing to bet it won't be "best team in baseball"

Yeah well since nobody here is arguing the Sox are the best team and all the talk has been about the schedule and cupcakes....to which Scal said to you 'So fucking what?"

That's what I'm saying, the schedule talk is BS.That's been the discussion, no one has claimed the Sox are the best team. It's not going to get much harder despite your thinking it will. What they've done so far isn't much different than what usually happens as others have already pointed out...ie: Yanks were barely above .500 vs 'good' teams last year....They , like most winning teams, win most of the games they 'should' vs lesser opponents...It's freaking baseball man... That's how it works....That's we all agree on, you keep harping on the 'cupcake schedule' thing...alone...

Blue Jays have stolen four bases on Montero in the first four innings. LOL. Fucking over-hyped Fraudkee* prospects.

Morrow had a great game going through 4 innings and then just inexpicably lost it in the fifth and walks four batters.
