is this a prediction or just a random ass statement? im guessing you mean papelbon closes out the series for them? or are you just starting a list of random players?
Damn, Phillies lost in 16 innings. Ryan Madson was fantastic with over 7 innings relief, until the walk off by Beltran. Not his fault though, it's the Phillies Offense's fault.
What a coherent and bold prediction. Who, pray tell, will they be playing? How many games will it take to win the series? Oh--let me guess!!!
It doesn't matter, since I'm sure the Red Sox will clinch their division in July, and sweep the AL division and championship series and breeze into the classic with several days of rest...and then sweep the NL champ.
OK, now you've saved me the trouble of watching baseball this year.
Every year I hope that my teams and favorite players will be prosperous--but, if they're not, I still watch. There's always next year, right? I don't paint my face, shout or write unfounded (and unlikely) predictions to demonstrate my love for the game. But I might start now.
MY PREDICTION--YUMIURI GIANTS OVER NIPPON HAM FIGHTERS IN FIVE. SADUHARU OH WILL MANAGE THE TEAM, HIT THE GAME-WINNER and WILL PITCH IN RELIEF, EARNING BOTH THE SAVE and THE WIN!!!!
I seem pretty confident about all that, don't I? Though it seems preposterous beyond all reason, my prediction is nearly as likely as yours.
RED SUX FOREVER!!!!
The Red Sox CAN win the World Series this year, so I don't know what the hell your talking about. I'm not gonna go predict it, but they definatley have a chance. Much more of a chance than the Yankees!

Rodrigo Lopez threw a complete game shutout, 2 hitter today, pretty impressive for a guy whos done nothing this year.
gotta love the devil rays Super Extreme Shift on Big Papi. SS playing 2b, 2b out in shallow RF, 1B normal, 3B in LF, LF in left-center, CF in right-center, RF in extreme RF. and Papi still got a hit through the right side lol.
Field looks so odd with out any players on the left side of the IF.

Of course, they CAN win. Realistically, a dozen teams have a legitimate shot at it. Anyone can take a stab at who'll win; I don't unconditionally accept pro announcer's predictions, either. It's just an opinion, even if it is an educated opinion. Anything can happen. I was kind of tired that night, and though I stand by my own comments and retract nothing, I suppose I may have been a bit rude. No apologies, though.
However, if your boy wins it for the Sox, I'll be happy to acknowledge that I was wrong. You gotta call the number of games, though.
has almost the same chance of happening that the Red Sox do of winning the World Series. IMO I think the Sox have a good chance of atleast making it to the ALCS. I like their team this year.
Of course, being a Red Sox fan I would love for them to win it, but I won't predict it. I would rather the Phillies win it though because Philly NEVER wins.
I know what I'm saying. After all, I am the one who said it. But, let me clarify, since you seem to misinterpret my post.
ANYONE can predict that a team will win. What makes the prediction worth reading or listening to, though? Saying "Red Sox will win" isn't a compelling arguement. Adding information, data, or facts to support the prediction is what makes it viable.
My facetious "prediction" merely illustrates what I regard as an ideal example. A guess at who will win follwed by more information that substantiates an actual thought process. Hopefully my explanation satisfies you. If not; well, that's fine, too.
I could paint my face and scream "GO RED SOX!!!" at acqaintances and passers by, but, that's not really my style. That's for the other guy.
I have a feeling that the Jays are going to cut it real close with the Red Sox and the Yankee's.
I'm not going to predict anything also, but if the Jays can get thier starting pitching healthy and pitching well, the Red Sox might be in trouble. But that's and if.

Not very much. I didn't watch, all I know is we lost.
Your Mets better watch out, Phillies up coming up the rear. Ryan Howard with 21 homeruns now. He is a MONSTER. 15 of his home-runs have been opposite field too. He's tied with Thome now too.
Oh yeah, and the Reds win their 7th straight, and are now tied with the Cards for first.
