Boston Red Sox fans, tell me when was the last time Red Sox player was hit by a Yankees Pitcher. You don't go out plunking the players from opposite side just for no reason and even that to the best player from another side. Oh yeah it was a fluke. If you want to plunk someone it's not that hard. You guys won three in a row and you call it the team is on a roll??? I guess that's how you guys success your team no wonder you guys are happy to be in the 2nd place. Damn that team from Tampa Bays even won 11 in a row. What would you have called if you have won 11 in a row? Nothing new with the Red Sox players, they are great popping their mouth time after time, be it Pedro, Nomar. Manny or others. You must be kidding if you are thinking they will win the AL East race. You know and the whole world knows that team got no chemistry. With Good starting rotation and 2-3 batters won't bring the championship. It has not happened since 1918 and would not in our lifetime. If I were your teams' GM I would be thinking about next, how you would be competitive as many of your studs are not coming back. About the Big Unit, Of course I would love to have him. I know why you don't want him. it's coz HE DOESN'T WANT TO PLAY FOR RED SOX simple as that. HE WANTS TO OUT AS A WINNER. you and I know which that team is. I bet most of your ballplayers are wishing to play for Yankees and at least get a championship. I and most of the Yankees fans been saying from the start-go that we lack in pitching and we know team is going to get a stud like Randy Johnson. Yankees' Boss won't mind spending few more bucks unlike yours. About the pitching, I did say Red sox have best pitching rotation in the AL East and they still do. If only pitching would win the championship, Braves would have won many in Maddux-Smoltz-Glavine golden era. I am predicting that Yankees will go through a major slump soon. This is because Yankees middle to late inning relief is spent man. Their arms are about to fall off. They have had to carry the weak starting rotation for so long, that it is only a matter of time before they give in. If you disagree with me, just watch the last couple of games. The writings on the wall already. >>> Nothing wrong wishing.... Yankees are going nowhere. MO is still da best there is. BTW who closed the ALL star game this year :) He still leads the league in the save category with 1.70 ERA. And where is your super closer Keith Foulke that you brought in??? If you guys are lucky enuf we shall see in ALCS. best of Luck to your team.
