Game 1: NYY
Prediction:
Game 2: BOS (If Pedro plays upto 7th innings)
Game 3: BOS
Game 4: BOS (If Curt Schilling's pitching) else NYY
Game 5: NYY
Game 6: BOS
If Curt Shilling's knee doesnt get better then NYY will win game 4
Game 7: BOS (cause Curt Schilling will definitely play this one)

BOS: 4 NYY: 2
BOS: 4 NYY: 3 (If Curt Schilling does not play game 4)
Mussina pitches again at game 5 so they will win. NYY ain't got no pitching line up. Great defence is always better than great Offence. And Boston has both end pretty lined up. Anyways, let's see all ya predictions too.

You guys have pretty good research potential...wanna write a thesis on Red Sox?

It's the samething you bring over and over.

If you have no problem talking about the yankees over and over, why should OURs talking about REDSOX bother you??

Oh yeah, when you say YAnkees are the next year, and the year after next year's favorite.. blah blah....none of us bothered to tell you that you were hallucinating or counting the chickens before they were hatched. Not every clouds bring in rain, some just clears away. That's how your Yankees been in last 4 seasons. They bring in players.. are favored to win WS??? and results what???? another embarrassing season.

Bro.. you are bit mistaken about the BOSS;

AOL TIME Warner has interest in other areas and not just baseball. I don't think they Let go Sheffield (or rather come to Yankees) because they WERE Too greedy to spend money on baseball. Besides Braves have been making frequent trips to the Playoffs and have been winning the division for how many consecutive years.... (gotta check my stat.). They are also a good example of how JUST BUYING THE MOST expensive players don't buy you CHampionships. It's the team chemistry and THE WILL TO WIn that brings in you success. So you cannot accuse them of being greeedy when it comes to paying money for the athletes. That sounds really stupid.

As oF the Japanese Businessman,
Mariners had seen some playoffs in recent years (not very recently though), and they had produced really good players. Of course they had let go some really good players too. However, you cannot judge any ballclub based on why they didn't COLLECT all the EXpensive players. In that case, Ichiro had demanded a trade earlier this season but Mr. Yamaguchi had been really hesitant about it. If he was in MLB just to bag in lot of ca$$h he could have done that already by trading ICHIRO. So, MY friend Maybe you cannot accuse Mariners organization as a club, surviving to bag in CA$H and not Championships.

People who knows baseball do know about DOlan Family. That's a rich family with investments in various industries. Plese let's not get confused and misunderstand that DOlan's family makes money from BASEBALL only. By the way Indians had had their chances in the postseasons. One was against US REd SOX too. They had chances this season as well, until they rode a big lossing streak in September. Hey Didn't the INDIANS BEat THE YANKEES 21-0, which happened to be the most blowout loss for the Yankees in their history, just few months back???? Now, you tell me if Indians area greedy organization.

As of Astros: BRo they almost made it to the WS?? THey did accumulate really good players. Ptiching.... batting... fielding... alll. I know they have few good players (Beltran, Kent.... )in the Free agents list and they might lose them also, but the effort they made in order to win the WS is second to none. SO, that simply indicates that they are not JUST a Business CLub. You might wanna correct yourself about the AStros.

REgardless of whether we win WS or not.... players who had entertained during the baseball seasons and given all they can to bring glory to our city our heroes.
TEd williams is the most popular player in the history of RED SOX organization. To me it's Nomar. During neither of their tenure in Boston did we win WS?? yet we love them from our hearts. Players who bring in Championships are special as well. That includes the players we have right now and those who once played for us. As of personal favorites, each of us can have different ones.

None denied the fact that Yankees have a very good baseball team and have a really good history. None can take that away from them. THe reason I am interested in modern Baseball or say in the 21st century is because WHAT We did today is what counts the most. RED SOX's winning WS In 1918 has nothing to do with RED SOX's winning again in 2004. Most of the fans are different, all the players, owners, ground crew... etc. are all different. So, there's no point making comparions in every single posting. Just because you wanna talk about DI MAggion or Berra or CLemens ... don't mean they are gonna comeback and help you win baseball games. They are a part of history. When we talk about the real baseball (the present seasoN) the history becomes irrevelant. If history had anything to do with the real baseball.... SOX wouldn'd have been winning WS (not because we were playing against the Yanks in ALCS or we are in WLCS.. but because forcing game 7 after being down 0-3, and winning 4-o in the WS.. were never in History books/diaries. Now they are). IF you seek shelter in relying so heavily in the PAst then SIR I have nothing to write to you. If we were discussing the baseball issues in the year 1998-2000, then you probably would have had edge against RED SOX or any other ball clubs. At the moment.. that's not the case. So, there are occassions we infer the history and there are other occassions where we have to limit ourselves to present also.

Schilling has won two WS, that's what I meant. And he have 3 seasons with 20+games win also. TEll me how many pitchers have had that kind of stats. and didn't make the playoffs?? By the way he is a WS MVP and I don't know how many time ALL-STAR... If we are just counting total wins then you are right, Schilling as of now can't be a hall of famer. But if you are also taking into account the other stats.... you should have hard time putting him out of COOpers town.

Yeah, it's disaapointing to see that we might be losing our franchise players in the free agent market. But we gotta understand that this is how the baseball business works.

By the way if you are such a critic of RED'SOX's management.. why didn't you say anything when the Yankees let go Andy Petite. Isn't he the winningest pitcher in the Yankees recen postseason history. WITH that much money to spend, why couldn't your BOSS pay him little more. OR he wasn't worth it. Same about D. Wells? THe guy who pitched so well in last year's playoffs... oh.. I think I heard you mentioned his Name amongst the players Yankees might acquire this off-season. "Yankees are front runner for Carlos Beltran, the most coveted player in this free agency and interested getting Randy Johnson and Carl Pavano/Eric Milton/David Wells" oh how pathetic!!!

and about some Baseball CLubs..
BRO There are bunch of SMALL baseball clubs with very limited budgets. Teams like Expos, Brewers and ROyals can hardly afford to pay for guys like A-ROD or Manny.
When they trade players it appears as though they were being really pathetic. But that's not the case. What they do is bring in more players in exchange for one. Some of the teams hope to built up a team in order to make themselves more competitive in the coming years. So, some teams s^*k really bad in one season and then come as a good team in the next season or two.

THere are clubs with a TOTAL salary room of less than $40 million/year, so they have to trade the players who are gonna cost them lots of money. It's sad for those small ballclubs but at the meantime we have to understand that they aren't greedy.

Please let us not talk about REVENUE sharing again. We had talked about it enough in our previous postings. IF you repeat I Will have to COPY and past some of my previous postings here. That will be bit annoying to all of us.

.... Keeping with the small clubs;;
Bro please tell me the CLUBS who beat the Yankees in thier recent WS adventures????
Those clubs surely did operate with a low budget yet Accomplished the Ultimate PRize they thrived for. Not because they had the most expensive players in the game but because they played together as a team and tried to the best they could in the opporunities they get.

IN a bigger Mirror, RICher teams have real advantage over the smaller ball clubs, but if the history teaches us any lessons then we have to realize that even with no real big name players and big Budget, baseball clubs can win championships, if they have the WILL TO WIN..


BY THE WAY the expos are owned by the MLB.... so let's not put them in the GREEDY category.

GO SOX GO
Jai NEpal

Bro, what you want me to do??? Talk about red sox, tampa bays or brewers??? I am sorry I don?t know much about them.

Yankees is the best organization in the baseball. BOSS wants to give the best players he can assemble for the Yankees fans. He will try to get the best players in the market. Since I have started to watch baseball, he has never disappointed me. Free Agency frenzy is going and we all know which team is the most people are talking about :=) every players want to play for the Yankees even your beloved Nomar, mind you in different position, may be PAY CUT too??? That would be nice.

Just read the news about the ex Yankees Soriano. NY Yankees are trying to get him back to play the 2nd base and to anchor the batting. That?s sweet. I would love to see him back. He looks better in Yankees uniform.


proud said ?Not every clouds bring in rain, some just clears away. That's how your Yankees been in last 4 seasons. They bring in players.. are favored to win WS??? and results what???? another embarrassing season.?
>>> what do you call your 2003 Red Sox team??? An embarrassment team as well??? I am proud to say Yankees had made to playoffs past 11 years and winning four times, reaching world series 6 times and won the AL East division 9 times :=)

proud bro, I don?t all those ganthans about the other baseball owners. I know I can find more about those owners coz I was the one who gave you those names. I think this is the place we differ so much about baseball. You want to run baseball by some businessmen like John Henry, Dolan and others where as I want it to run by true baseball fans like BOSS who can afford to buy teams. I know there are plenty of people like that. I HOPE YOU FOUND OUT NOW THAT THE BOSS IS NOT THE RICHEST GUY IN BASEBALL AS YOU THINK. ** Let?s make clear that, in no way or shape I have accused owners of Atlanta, Houston, or Cleveland being greedy.**

Bro why you asking me about Astros???? The reason I threw his name was coz dude is more wealthy than BOSS. How about little more googling bro. search for Billy Wagner??.Don?t forget to come back with the surprising story :=) coz you never tend to answer my questions (what happened to last q I asked about the farm players??? No worries bro I will have it for you) Bro you are talking a lot about baseball past, I thought you just want to talk about 21st century baseball team. Is Teddie Williams in a current Red Sox roster???

Proud bro, it?s soooo unlike of you today you are praising Yankees. I am glad you got to learn more about Yankees with the discussion going on here now ;) Thanks for giving Yankees complement :=)

Red Sox finally won over Yankees after long time. Does that means you are better team next year as well??? NO. check out the players who filed for free agency from Red Sox roster, you be surprised to see. And I don?t think Red Sox is trying to bring Pedro, Veritek or Lowe (their premier free agents). SO what does that tell you about the Red Sox??? I am sure the team value went up few millions with the championship. I bet Mr. Henry is trying to find the buyer now coz HISTORY tells you about the person ;)

Thanks for correcting yourself about the Schilling. He is NOT hall of fame bound if he were to retire today from baseball :=)
Yankees does business differently than other ball clubs :=) It is run by the great baseball fan. He is not scared to write a check for star players (coach as well ;)) btw did you see his VISA ad. Dude still looks good ;) do you know any other owners have appeared in the statewide tv commercial??? I doubt it.

About Andy Petite, Yankees had offered him a contract; instead he took lesser offer from the Astros. He wanted to pitch for his home team Houston in front of his folks. He is a class guy and I have a tremendous respect for the guy. He is the reason I wanted Astros to win the NL pennant. Same with David Wells, he wanted to pitch for his home team in San Diego. It?s not that Yankees didn?t offer contract to Petite, Clemens or Wells. Unlike Red Sox, Yankees take care of their players. We got generous owner who believes on sharing the income ;) Wells is willing to play for another year and San Diego can not give the salary he is asking for so he wants to be back with Yankees. Once you play for the Yankees, you always want to be back with them. Let?s not forget how we snatch the BOOMER from Arizona Diamondbacks. Classic BOSS :p you using pathetic word too many times bro. Pathetic about what???

I agree bigger market teams have advantage over lesser market teams. Can?t other teams be creative like Florida, Minnesota and Oakland???

Bro how about update sometime as well from Red Sox Nation??? So we can have more talk rather than talking about the same topic :=) I hear 3rd Baseman Bill Mueller have resigned (intent) with Red Sox.

Here?s the news/rumors regarding Yankees/Mets :
- Yankees are interested bringing back their star 2nd baseman Alfonso Soriano for Vazquez
- Yankees bench coach Willie Randolph have signed to mange the METS
- Nomar to 2nd has made a big news
- Mets catcher/2st baseman Mike Piazza could be dealt to L A Dodgers for Shawn Green
- Yankees pitcher Kevin Brown could land in Atlanta, his hometown if he were to void his no-trade clause
- Sosa may be traded to METS for Cliff Floyd
- Yankees pitching coach still pondering a return for another year
- METS are interested in Angels troubled outfielder Jose Guillen

YANKEE'S SUCK! I DON'T CARE HOW MANY CHAPIONSHIPS THEY'VE WON OR HOW MANY TIMES THEY'VE BEAT BOSTON, TO LOOSE 4 IN A ROW AFTER WINNING THE FIRST 3 IS SADDDDD. GO SOXS BOSTON #1... GOO PATSS

Well, Bro.. seems like you wanna hear nothing but Praises about your Yankees. People would have been doing that only if they were accomplishing any WS titles in recent years. All the shits like ## ALCS, ### WS, ##DIVISION..... that's not what people wants to hear. So you can keep those informations for yourself.

dude, googling around the web doesn't realy make you a smart person. Coz people do that, especially a guy (sports person) like me. all the time. If you want me to PASTE all the stats... and all the latest baseball transactions.. I surely can do that for you as well. But.. what's the point. You can tune on to your ESPNs, sports websites, or just read newspapers... DUde mature... no need for those things. We can all find it by ourselves.

I will request you, if you can.. please stop repeating yourself. It's getting bit annoying.. to see the same stuffs over and over when I am expecting something else.

Alrite what do you wanna hear from me... ask?? I will try to assist you with that.

Anyway, RED SOX is not jsut better team than YAnkees.. but they are the best in Baseball. If you cannot buy the fact, that's fine as well.
But the whole world knows that.

See you soon.
GO SOX GO
