    Who would make that comparison?

    The media makes this comparison, ESPN certainly exagerrates how good the Sox will be.

    Then, Yankee fans who get annoyed that Karl Ravech and his toupee or the cast of the MLB network or the Pecota projections are fawning over the Sox and picking them to win the east, they project those comments onto Sox fans ... and voilà, Yankee fans assume all Red Sox fans are blind morons who project this team to win 125 games.

    It's been a spring tradition for a few years now.

    I blame Karl Ravech's hairpiece.

    I'm torn on this. It could be a colossal mistake to have hard booze at Fenway. Gin and Tonic, anyone?

    You guys should just give up now, I don't really see a need to play the rest of the games.

    Kinda true actually, they've really been pouring on the praise. Barry Larkin projected Francona for Manager of the Year, Lester for Cy Young, Gonzalez for MVP, and apparently you're going to have a batting champ in your lineup as well.

    Logically, a manager that has the Cy Young winner, the MVP and the batting champ on the same team would not have to do much managing and therefore should not win manager of the year.

    Looks like Daniel Bard was a wee bit ineffective today.

    I can't stand how most of the analysts and people in general are picking the Red Sox to win the division when so many other teams have gotten so much better. The Sox will really have to earn this East division cause NONE of the division teams are going to give them anything.

    That said GO SOX

    Red Sox fever ... catch it!

    One of those times I'm glad not to live in Boston to hear all the radio calls and folks ready to jump off the bridge after 3 of 162 games.
