Why Red Sox will win the World Series this year.
10. Best offensive team ever, everyone can hit on our team.
--- Ever? I dont think so. Best offensive team this year? yeah, but what can you expect, you play the Orioles, Devil Rays and Blue Jays 19 times a year!
9. Enough lefty hitters to our advantage.
--- This doesnt really help when the A's throw 3 leftys at ya. 🙂
8. Just swept the Mariners.
--- Mariners always falter in August.
7. Everyone will be ready to play by the time playoffs rolls round.
--- Everyone? Its not like the team has been hit with tons of injuries ( unless you count a cold)
6. Yankess just don't have it anymore. Look at the last two years.
--- Yankees somehow have a 5 game lead on ya, they must have something?
5. Pedro = Better then entire Yankee Staff
--- Too bad he cant pitch every day ( or at least more than 6 innings)
4. Byung Hyun Kim has playoff experience and ice water in his veins.
--- News flash...this guy SUCKS when the pressure is on.
3. Suppan is gaining his touch.
--- He looks like the Royals pitcher we all thought he was ( 6.08 ERA with the Sox)
2. Capacity crowd of over 98% fill in the Fenway Park to give energy.
--- It hasnt helped in the past.
1. We're just the better team.
--- Better at what? Choking in the stretch run?
