March 11, 200521 yr What happened to all the media talk of the Sox bad start????? How they can't score any runs???? The Sox are now 5-6 in the spring training and showing signs that their pitching will be leading the way. Oh, and they ARE scoring runs....
March 14, 200521 yr You've not looked at the schedule. 05 PreAS: Apr (10H, 14R), May (13H, 16R), Jun (16H, 9R), JulA (6H, 3R) = (45H, 42R) 05 PosAS: JulB (7H, 10R), Aug (13H, 15R), Sep (17H, 13R) = (37H, 38R) The Sox have avg'd about 33L at Home & about 45L on Road the past 4 yrs. They have essentially been a Roadkill team for this decade. They won it in 2000 because they only had 32L on the Road. Play the %'s: 40% L rate at home, 55% L rate on road. Apr-May: 13-10 at Home, 13-17 on Road. Near .500 club by Jun. Jun-Jul : 13-9 @ Home, 5-7 on Road. +2 over 500 team by AS break.] That isn't going to get it done so this team has to play much better on the road. The additions of Pods, ARow (full time), AJP, & Igs in the field should help that considerably. The additions of Garcia(full season), El Duque, Vizcaino, & Hermanson should help as well. It's going to take at least 90W to win the ALC. If the Sox are < 500 by break mail it in. Firesale time. If the Sox are +2 > 500 trade for 2 road warriors (Vazquez, Lowell) If the Sox are +6 > 500 trade for 1 road warrior (Vazquez) If the Sox are +10 > 500 don't change a thing.
