witesoxfan Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 16, 2008 -> 08:39 PM) Yankees and Red Sox locked in another awfully played game. Â I don't think either of their rotations are really that good and I think their offenses are overrated. Essentially, I'm not a fan of either team, and I could easily see both of them missing the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingandalongonetoleft Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 (edited) I could definately see NY missing them but Boston is beginning to remind of cockroaches who just don't go away. I actually want NY to make the cut this year strictly because of the Stadium. Â *edit* Anyone catch Sean Casey avoid getting picked off at second yesterday? Priceless.

Balta1701 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 This is a fascinating statistical note. The hot topics lately among major league general managers are the high number of injuries, and the increased time it's taking for players to return from them. The guess among some GMs is that one factor in the injury epidemic could be more stringent drug testing, which eliminated one possible aid to get back onto the field faster. It's either that, or a lot of bad luck.  Here are the eye-opening figures for the disabled list (numbers given show the number of players on the disabled list on the first Friday of each season):  2003: 82 2004: 95 2005: 97 2006: 77 2007: 102 2008: 111  As of yesterday, that disabled list total was up to 122. Ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RME JICO Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I just realized that it seems like the Sox and Cards perform fairly similar season in and season out. Both had a disappointing 2007 followed by a nice start in 2008. Looking back 10 years, the teams have finished with the same record twice, within 1 win of each other twice, and both teams had a run of 7 seasons with at least a .500 record sandwiched by 70ish win seasons. They also won WS back-to-back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately that would only serve to make the Pirates suck even more.  Then the Rangers can b**** hardcore because they have to cross over 2 time zones. That ain't right.  Pirates fans/commentators shouldn't be pissed because of time zones, they should be pissed because their team is f***ing terrible.
