Don't talk about intangibles for the Boston Redsox... something about a curse has kept them away from the WS. Last year, really, Boston had it goin, career years for the entire team and all.. Boone out of nowhere... "the ghosts eventually show up"...
And the Bosox defense isnt that great... Manny? whoever's playin 1st, 2nd... hehe... I guess its objectable as a Yankee fan
Also, unrelated.. the Yanks DONT have that bad of a pitchin staff.
Brown, Moose, Vasquez, Contreras, Lieber.
Everyone says "what if Contreras and Lieber suck?".. to that i say
"What if they do well?" If Lieber comes back to his self, and while 20 games like 3 yrs ago mite be unlikely, if he can get 12-15 games, while contreras gets 12-15... You gots urself a pretty good staff.
And Foulke.... His numbers are pretty decieving. He blew a few saves that his team won later, and struggled sometimes in pressure situations. He may be good, but he's not even a top 5 closer in my opinion... MO is
PS - Soriano is free agent next year.. *cough* Yanks sign him *cough*
edit - not fa next year
