can't complain about their performance since 2004 - this will become a bridge year! Lots of youth coming along.

If the game has taught us anything, it's that anything can happen.

Yeah -- and about that farm system. Deepest in the minors, reportedly.

Baseball is like flipping a coin and gambling - whatever short term results, probability will show in the long run. They play so many games that a lot of teams began the year w/ cold snaps and will get hot towards the end of the season while a lot of other teams that are in the upper half will end the year w/ a cold snap. Usually talent wins out which is why teams like Detroit, San Francisco, Oakland, Washington, and St. Louis. Angels also hang around as does Dallas.

Although it was so bad that I didn't even give my boss grief about it. Just knowing I could was enough.

As much as i hate to admit it losing Ellsbury really hurts that lineup. But how about that Brock Holt!

Passion, fire, whatever...close games this year they lost they won last year...the desire isn't there, the talent is.
