CrazyCarl40 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 The 1998 Yankees started the season 0-3. Most of you know what happened after that. I am not comparing the 2011 Red Sox to the 1998 Yankees. The Sox won't come near 114 wins. Two different teams and different time frames. Just saying stranger things have happened.

If you look around balls were flying out of alot of ballparks this weekend. Makes you wonder if the balls have a little extra "jump" to them.

Anyone that draws far ranging conclusions from the first 3 games of the year is only wishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugg Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 The 1998 Yankees had this thing called a bullpen. Relief pitchers came into games and retired batters on a consistent basis. Of course, with the greatest assemblage of baseball talent in history before us in the old glorious Fenway, this is a mere bag of shells. 159-3 I tell you!

You keep spouting the same stuff, but you're the only one saying it. No one here said it would be the greastest team ever. A few writers and maybe some other fans did, but no one here. No one on the Red Sox was spouting this either. Get a new schtick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't comparing the two teams. All I was implying, is that it has happened before. 3rd graders would be able to understand what I said better than you have, apparently.

All I was implying, is that it has happened before. 3rd graders would be able to understand what I said better than you have, apparently. Let me get this straight: you're not comparing the 2011 Red Sox to the 1998 Yankees but you felt the need to start a thread with the following: The 1998 Yankees started the season 0-3. Most of you know what happened after that. I am not comparing the 2011 Red Sox to the 1998 Yankees. The Sox won't come near 114 wins. Two different teams and different time frames. Just saying stranger things have happened. If you don't think this Sox team is capable of duplicating what the 1998 Yankees did then why even start this thread? Carl, several teams start 0-3 every year. The overwhelming majority of them do not go on to won 114 games. The only reason to start a thread by making that statement is if you believe the team in question is capable of doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never even came close to saying that. The 1998 Yankees won the World Series. All I was saying was it was possible for a team to start 0-3 and still win the World Series. I believe the Sox are more than capable of winning it all. Counting the Sox out because of a bad weekend in Texas (where they have been horrible over the last few years) would be silly.

Stop slapping yourself. There are plenty of those who are counting them out. Just read the other threads. Or think of it as a preemptive strike.

I know you have your panties in a bunch after the Rangers kicked your a$$ all over Arlington however you have the awful Indians coming up. The greatest team of all time should be able to take care of that easily right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their first three games merely justified my prediction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
