so much better than the NL that the Rockies would be lucky to get to a sixth game against any of the Indians, Sox, or Yankees and the same would be true of the Angels if they'd been healthy.

[/ QUOTE ]

Who cares if the AL is 100 times better than the NL. The Rockies have been the hottest team in the playoffs and they have had a lot of days to rest, which historically is a huge advantage. The Rockies also took two out of three from the Sox this year.

Also, the yankee fans making the argument aout how many world series they have... who cares, the redsox are better than you right now. Both teams have a high payroll and both teams have the luxary of purchasing talent.

Minor detail: Schilling originally came up in the Red Sox organization and was traded to Baltimore in 1988 in the Mike Boddicker deal.

So home grown? Maybe.

Red Sox in the World Series... Thanks to poker...

[/ QUOTE ] I'm confused. How did poker help the Red Sox get into the World Series?

Oh, I know - the umps were up all night playing poker, so they were too bleary-eyed to make the correct calls in the last game of the ALCS.

One of two things can be concluded from this post.

A) Your reading comprehension stinks.
B) Your sense of humor stinks.

That prospect in Hanley Ramirez who is better than Lowell and Beckett. Also if the Yanks weren't retarded and used there prospects well starting Hughes and Joba they would have been the best team in baseball.

Up to seven things can be concluded from this post.

A) Your reading comprehension stinks.
B) Your sense of humor stinks.
C) You're a disgruntled Cleveland fan.
D) You are less of a Bosox fan than I am.
E) You really know how to abuse an ellipsis.
F) You're a former umpire.
G) Your sense of humour stinks.

The Rockies are hot because they played the Diamondbacks who should have finished fourth.

Let me put it this way. The Rockies outscored their opposition by about a hundred runs. The Red Sox outscored their opposition by about two hundred.
