It pains me to say this, but not only do I think the Yankees are a lock for the playoffs, I also consider them the favorite to win the World Series. I think they'll roll in the playoffs unless they face the Angels whom for whatever reason, they struggle against.
I'm the biggest sox fan you'll ever meet, well maybe not the biggest, but pretty darn into it and our team right now is the least impressive squad I've ever seen with the best record in baseball. Lack of clutch hitting is just horrendous on this squad. I think we've won a total of 2 games when behind in the 8th inning - pathetic.
If they don't win the World Series, which I don't think they will, Theo Epstein should be FIRED. In fact I'm all for firing the guy even if we do win. It's not even the horrible signings of Drew and Lugo. It's the fact that he wasted the best pitching staff of a generation by not trading for what the team needed at the half - hitting. Dye was there for the taking and he wouldn't pull the trigger. I DON'T CARE if Jacoby Elsbury and Jon Lester are the future. The only person that should've been deemed untradeable is whom you saw throw a no-hitter last night - Buckholz. I had been following him on the Sea Dogs and he's a fantastic pitching talent - far superior to Lester.
The kind of attitude that Theo showed this summer, not mortgaging the future to win now, is the kind of attitude that left this city without a championship for 86 years.
When you've got great pitching an aging stars like Ortiz and Manny who will only go downhill next year - you trade and play to win NOW. Theo did not do that and should be shown the door for it to make an example that this franchise is finished with, 'There's always next year' under their name.
