In other news, my Braves are 11.5 games up and have been on cruise control since the All Star break. While it is likely that they won't win the Series, it is inevitable that the Red Sox won't.

First they have to beat the Yankees, and they haven't done that since, what, 1921?

Well, I could point to 1986 .

After people left the Red Sox for dead when they were 7 back in mid-August, they've come back. The Yanks have struggled, while the Sox have rallied. This looks very interesting, especially when it seems that Clemens and Wells are running out of gas.

You could. But there's no series ring, is there? It's not just the actual Yankees that they have to beat, there is also King Yankee himself: Babe Ruths ghost.

How many games are left in the regular season? My Royals need to make up 2.5 games...

At least the Hanshin Tigers are kicking ass.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like the last time they beat the yankees was TODAY TWELVE to NOTHING. NOTHING!!!

One game. Wow. Hell, even the Pirates beat the Braves a few days ago - does that mean that Pittsburgh is ready to make a move?

No, because Pittsburgh is the only team that choaks worse in the playoffs than the Braves .

Yeah, but it was a crucial game, and remember, this is how they preformed after Steinbrenner warned them that if they kept up Friday's performance heads would roll/

You forget the Red Sox. Hell, at least the Braves have won a couple a' WS's since 1920.

You are obviously forgetting 1960 and 1979.

You KNOW this is nothing on the Braves of the 90s. 11 straight division titles and only ONE World Series win to show for it?

And let it be noted that I love Kim Byung-Hyun, if it wasn't for him they wouldn't show every Red Sox game on TV repeatedly for about a week over here
He's not bad at throwing balls either...

We get to see the Mariners and Yankees regularly thanks to Ichiro and Matsui. The Dodgers are on every time Nomo pitches. We might get to see the Giants if Shinjo was any good, but he's not.

11 straight division titles in the era of Free Agency is a helluva feat... especially since there are 3 rounds of playoffs to win the damn thing, unlike previous eras... like 1986, 1975, or 1967 (or was it 68?)

Better 11 Division winning years with only 1 ring than 72 straight years and NO World Series wins to show for it, imho. But then, I'm not a Red Sox fan, accustomed to losing the Big Game.

Remember: Moral victories are for losers.

I mean, think about it Imran: this thread exists to celebrate the thrashing of the Yankees in a regular season game.

Every thrashing of the Yankees should be celebrated .

Well, the Boston Red Sox have more WS wins than the Braves, if you really want to get technical.

You're a Braves fan. Losing the 'Big Game' should be second nature to you .

5-3, Sox advantage. But what would you prefer to have: 5 wins, all of them 80+ years ago, or 3 wins, one of which occurred in your lifetime?

Well you ain't dead yet and there are plenty of years of baseball ahead . And besides, the Sox do have better players in their history.

Then again, it's all secondary to making sure the Yankees don't win .

So why are you on the Sox bandwagon? Or are you just playing Devils advocate?
