TRUE RED SOX OPTIMIST QUESTION: Will the 2012 Red Sox be the greatest team in the history of MLB

Every year for the last 30+ years I have talked about and believed to some degree except in a few occasions like the 1992 team, believed that the Red Sox had one of the greatest teams in the history of MLB that year. I believe it this year. Talk smack at me if you want to only the standings at the end of the season will convince me otherwise. For it is time for the Red Sox Nation and it is time to begin the season of the 2012 World Series Champion Boston Red Sox!
Rock over Fenway,
Rock on Boston!
Red Sox: 2012 World Series Champions!
Fozzy you might be onto something there.
Nick it is fine to disagree with me on the Red Sox but as a White Sox fan you should believe they are ONE OF the greatest teams of all time, at least in my way of thinking. Let the standings prove me wrong if they do otherwise it’s the Red Sox in 2012!
I did smoke crack once without knowing it. Someone had this tiny blunt and I thought it tasted horrible and it turns out they put some crack in it. I had no idea you could smoke crack in a blunt. Needless to say I was not happy about that at all.
Go Red Sox!

  • what kind of a question is this?
  • Wow.
    You get hold of a stronger batch of weed tonight Grandpa?
  • im the exact opposite. now i know every redsox fan should believe it every year. i mean ive been a sox fan since i was 8. but this year i just dont see it. im finding myself paying more attention to my home town kansas city royals than my beloved boston redsox
  • Lay off the crack.
  • Sure they have a good team and the extra wild card will help but, they can’t win it all with only two good pitchers.
  • Well Jon this is where I disagree with you, but if that’s the mindset you have so be it. I could say the 2012 White Sox will be the greatest team in the history of MLB, I could be right but am wrong if I was to say something like that. It’s a long season but I really don’t see anything special about the 2012 Red Sox, they have some good hitters in their lineup but their pitching is a bit subpar.
  • YESSS!
    ELLSBURY, A-GON, PERDROIA WILL KEEP IT CRACKIN WHILE YOUKILIS AND CRAWFORD WILL GET BACK TO THEIR REGULAR FORMS DESPITE INJURIES!!!

    Great pitching staff as well with a mix of experienced veterans with YOUNG GUNS!

    I don’t know how they would be able to lose.

  • No.

    There hasn’t been a great baseball team since the 1998 Yankees.

Twelve more days ’til Opening Day :D

Weather is warm, blood is stirring, hayfever rampant, it’s been far too long since I’ve sat in the bleachers on a hot afternoon watching my favorite team win…

MQ: Favorite song about baseball?
MQ2: Favorite team/player
MQ3: How’s your team look this year?

BQ: Least favorite team?

My favorite song:
"Tessie" Dropkick Murphys

Favorite team:
Boston Red Sox and anyone else who beats the Yankees :D /Ellsbury

They look like they look every year at this time: All about HOPE :)

Least favorite team: The Dark Side, NY Yankees (Sorry Stella my love)

  • mq:Centerfield-John Fogerty
    mq2:Atlanta Braves/Chipper Jones
    mq3:pretty good

    bq: Florida(i mean Miami) Marlins

  • MQ: “Take Me Out To The Ball Game”
    MQ2: Cincinatti Reds/ Joey Votto
    MQ3: They’re looking okay this year, I can’t wait to see what Matt Latos can do.
    BQ: St. Louis Cardinals
  • MQ: cooperstown- the felice brothers

    BQ: the mother f*cking yankees….

  • FYI: There’s only eight more days until the Mariners and the Athletics open the regular season on the 28th in Japan. And the U.S. opener is 15 days away, on the 4th, when I believe St. Louis plays Miami.

    MQ1: “Centerfield” – John Fogarty
    MQ2: Seattle Mariners / Felix Hernandez
    MQ3: Should be better than last year, and the youngsters are encouraging, but I’m expecting a sub-.500 season . . . again. :(

    BQ: New York Yankees

  • Take Me Out to the Ballgame
    Cincinnati Reds/Brandon Phillips
    Promising with the changes they have made
    St. Louis Cardinals
  • MQ: Oh yeah! Dropkick Murphys is awesome, but my favorite song from them is shipping up to Boston.
    MQ2:All bout them SOX!!! (red sox that is) and my favorite player is Pedroia cause he is small but powerful (everyone can agree on that one)
    MQ3:I agree with you on this question.
    BQ:It’s pretty obvious if I like the Red Sox what my least favorite team is. Yanks Suck!!!
  • I never heard a good song about baseball. Although one time, when they still had an organ player, the guy played “Purple Haze” on it, which was pretty cool.
    My favourite team is my fantasy league team, lol. I grew up loving the Kansas City A’s, who are now the Oakland A’s. Favourite player that is still playing? Probably Derek Jeter.
    I don’t really have a MLB team, since I now live in AZ. I’ve been trying to adopt the Dodgers as my team, but the commute is a bit much. And the D-backs truly suck.
    Least favourite team? Probably the Mariners or the Red Sox, one because, who the heck are they anyways, and the other because they just cry too much.
  • MA : “Play by Play (I Saw it on the Radio)” – Terry Cashman

    MA2 : Philadelphia Phillies/ Roy Halladay, Hunter Pence
    MA3 : Not too sure

    BA : Yankees, Braves

  • 1. Centerfield
    2. Team: Minnesota Twins; Player: Troy Tulowitzki (Since I appear to be the only oddball who’s favorite player isn’t on their favorite team, I will provide that my favorite Twin (right now, changes a lot though) is Ben Revere.)
    3. Not good. Lost Kubel and Cuddyer, took a risk on signing Zumaya that didn’t pay off (though to be honest, I liked the move). We’ve got a really young team this year. Hopefully Gardy can get back to the magic he worked with those less talented teams he has had in the past, but to me this looks like a definite rebuilding year. Maybe 70-75 wins. Perhaps if we’re lucky we can get to .500, but I’m trying to stay realistic.
    BQ: Chicago White Sox/New York Yankees
  • MA- Take Me Out To the Ballgame.

    MMA- New York Yankees. I don’t know. Every time I pick one he either gets traded or he moves to another team. Maybe I should pick A-Rod.

    MMMA- Haha they are the Yankees they can look terrific or bomb.

    BA- A team named the Red Sox. Haha just kidding. I do not have a least favorite except the LA Lakers and they do not play baseball.

    (((Kelly)))

    Nice avatar Kelly. :)

  • LOL – I might have to start watching baseball again just for you my friend.

    MQ – I guess “Centerfield” by John Fogerty is too obvious. So I will go with “Boys of Summer” by Don Henley

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFwxBm_OHLM

    MQ2 – Dodgers. Favorite player was Duke Snyder. Matt Kemp is my favorite current Dodger.
    MQ3 – The Dodgers should be able to hit but their pitching looks weak.

    BQ – The San Francisco Giants – The arch enemy of the Dodgers.

  • MQ: cant think of one

    MQ2: Carlos Quentitn

    MQ3: not so good, once again we rely too much on pitching when we need a couple of good batters sigh …. but Im still a fan of them….

    BQ: least favorite team: Yankees as well (I dont hate the players, I just dont like the fact that they have so much money)

  • The season actually opens in eight days, when Oakland and Seattle play in Tokyo.

    MQ: “Centerfield” by John Fogarty
    MQ2: Cubs/Ryan Dempster
    MQ3: Same old same old

    BQ: New York Yankee$

  • Oboy! Can hardly wait!

    MQ: Boys of Summer~Don Henley which is ridiculous because it isn’t about baseball at all. Take Me Out to the Ball Game.

    MQ2: Detroit Tigers/Justin Verlander

    MQ3: The Tigers look pretty good if the pitching holds out. They are good through four. The fifth starter is the ?.

    BQ: Least favorite team: New York Yankess. Since 1961. Before that I was still playing with dolls and had no clue.

  • Hello my dear Kelly ;) Hehehe…the Evil Empire is waiting for you! LOL

    MQ: Well Centerfield is certainly out…like Enter Sandman playing when Mariano takes the mound…to beat up *you know*
    Actually here is a nice song by Peter, Paul & Mary called “Right Field”

    MQ2: Wether you like the Yanks or not, Derek Jeter is a good player who knows the dynamics of the game. A class act on and off the field. There’s no denying that imo. Dislike A-Rod with a passion!

    MQ3: As good as any other team I guess. Time will tell cuz we wait to dance in October :)

    BQ: Uh, the Red Sox…although they have some good players. Shame Tim Wakefield retired. Had the pleasure of watching him pitch @ Yankee Stadium. He’s was awesome (even though we won). Don’t care for the Phillies since any real NY fan doesn’t consider Philadelphia a real sports town… XD

    Thanks for having some fun w/me today sweetie. Luv u!!

  • put me in coach i readly to play
    phillies/ utley
    good if healty
    mets
  • I’ve gone to three Razorback games so far. 19-2 and #3 in the country! GoHogs!

    MA: Gotsta love Fogerty’s Centerfield
    MA2: Dodgers and I think my man Andre Ethier is going to have a standout year. Watch out for the Matt Kemp (the real MVP from last year) and Andre Ethier combo this year.
    MA3: Cy Young winner, 2nd year for Mattingly to get it together, division’s looking weak, an offense that can produce in a pitcher’s park and a decent defense. We’ll go deep in the playoffs.

    BA: those damn Yankees. And that team in Mike’s BA…. not even worth the energy it would take to type the letters here.

    **I was really looking forward to watching Moneyball… til I saw Tofudebeast’s answer. I won’t even bother with it now. I’m a stats nerd as well

  • As a Mariners fan, only 8 more days until we open our season in Tokyo, Japan against the Oakland A’s. I’m pretty excited about this year with a full season from Ackley, the addition of a young power hitter in Montero & highly touted prospect pitchers potentially coming up mid-way through the season.

    MQ: “There Used To Be A Ballpark” – Frank Sinatra
    MQ2: Seattle Mariners, Felix Hernandez
    MQ3: Pretty decent, actually. I don’t expect them to win the division or make the playoffs, but we’ve addressed a major offensive need in acquiring Montero by trading from a position of strength. I expect Danny Hultzen & James Paxton, two of our “big three” pitching prospects (the other being 19-year old Taijuan Walker, considered to have the highest ceiling of the bunch) to be up at some point this year. Maybe I’m being a bit optimistic, but I think the Mariners can be .500 or better this year, even with the Angels & Rangers in the same division.

    BQ: Angels, Yankees, Red Sox. I just can’t decide between the three.

  • Favorite movie about baseball statistics that didn’t have enough actual statistics in it: Moneyball. I loved the movie, but really, where were all the statistics? Where were the equations and spread sheets?? Where was the rigorous mathematical treatment???

Boston Red Sox are near the top of the Grapefruit League, Yankee$ near the bottom and a big disappointment. T

houghts?

Big payrolls don’t always get yous wins. LOL, LOL. LOLL.

Why do you ask this question on a daily basis? Spring Training games mean nothing, the Red Sox being near the top and the Yankees being near the bottom have no bearing on how the regular season is going to play out.

I hope your joking but knowing you I find you very dumb.

Also putting a dollar sign as the S for Yankees makes very little sense for a Red Sox fan to do considering the Red Sox do the exact same thing the Yankees do, also you have your New York teams confused, that’s the Mets that are in last place not the Yankees, the Yankees have awhole one less win than the Red Sox and four more losses, it doesn’t even count for the regular season.

Seriously, get a life.

For the last time, spring training does not matter.

What, some A league players playing against other A league players and losing? Big whoop

Doesn’t mean two flips. Don’t sweat it. There was a team a few years ago that didn’t win a ST game until their 5th try. They had the third worst record and the worst in their league. No one remembers that but people old enough remember that they started the regular season35-5 and won the WS that year.

As you know spring training game wins and losses don’t count. The Yankees are playing down in Florida so A-Rod stays over at Jeter’s palace. Because these games are just exhibition games they confine themselves to heavy petting though. It doesn’t count until the regular season.

I look forward to watching the Red Sox face the 14-4 Athletics in the ALCS

I’m still wondering if Eric the Perpetual homosexual and Jandy are the same guy.

Spring Training means nothing.

Yes, the Yankees will be a staggering 0 games out of first place when play begins in April.

Ok, it’s Spring Training meaning these games mean nothing in real stats.

Congratulations, your favorite team has won more games that don’t matter.

@ Marcus, I wonder the same thing.

My thought is that spring training games mean less than nothing. BTW, I am a Sox fan.

Jeter/Posada/Williams/Martinez autograph estimate

In 2005, I ran into Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada, Bernie Williams, and Tino Martinez on the streets of Boston during a series with the Red Sox. They signed a piece of paper for me (all on the same paper), and i got a picture with them. Can anybody give me an estimate of how much the paper is worth? also, should I get it authenticated? How much value would that add? Thanks!

Without a letter of authenticity, I’m afraid the piece of paper is not worth anything. I’m sure there are some collectors that would be interested but as to the value, it’s only worth what a collect is willing to pay. As a collector myself, I would keep the paper under glass to preserve it. Having a picture taken with them had to be very cool.

Check with your local sports memorabilia shop in your area. I’m sure they can give you more information that I can give. Good luck with it. Sounds like a nice piece.

A letter of Authenticity is crucial

You should definitely get it certified, psadna is a good place to go for that.
As for an estimated value, I would say it’s more sentimental than anything.

Out of these teams, what is your favorite MLB team

I’m doing a project, and I just need as many people as possible to answer this question. Any help is mucho appreciated!

Detroit Tigers
Philadelphia Phillies
Chicago Cubs
Baltimore Orioles

thanks for answering, everyone :D
it really helped me out(:

Chicago Cubs

I don’t like any team besides the Brewers, however, if they didn’t exist, I would be a Cubs fan.

Well I’m naturally a Cards fan (I lived in St. Louis) but out of those the Braves cuz they’re my second favorite team (I was born in Georgia)

Braves by a country mile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Atl born and raised.

If I had to pick one…the cubs.

Phillies

I’m not paticularly fond of any of those teams. I do like Matt Kemp, so I’ll say Dodgers

New York Mets!

Yankees, Mets, Rays, and Dodgers.

Chicago Cubs

I don’t like any team besides the Brewers, however, if they didn’t exist, I would be a Cubs fan.

Boston Red Sox

Tampa Bay Rays… Started following them soon after they got started in 1998!

The Detroit Tigers.

The Mets. I’ve been rooting for them since the late 80′s. I’ve witnessed some ups and downs, more downs but those few ups have been lasting memories for me.

The Cubs have always been my second favorite team

None of them

I’ve been an Orioles fan since I was a kid, back when they had one of the best teams of all time (Frank Robinson, Brooks Robinson, Jim Palmer….).
It’s getting hard to keep coming back to them every year, though…..

Boston Red Sox :)
I have always been a Red Sox fan, so this is an easy one for me.

Philadelphia Phillies by a long shot
Born & raised a Phillies fan & will be a Phillies fan for life

Boston Red Sox

Are the Brewers any good for pitching

I am in a fantasy team and I was thinking of keeping the Brewers or not, so I can put in Lars Anderson. I already have the Boston Red Sox, so I dont think I will need them because of their game against the Angels. Am I making the right decision?

ZACH GREINKE IS GOOD FOR THEM AND RED SOX CAN GO SUCK BIG COCKS

The Brewers basically have the same pitching staff as last year, couple new guys but no one that really stands out. So we can go have of last years statistics. So basically youd be good right up untill the post-season.

“I’m Shaun Marcum, I normally dont pitch bad. But when I do, I choose the playoffs!”

LETS GO BREW CREW!!

Very solid starting pitching and a great bullpen. Significantly better than the red sox.

HOW TRUE is it that 89% of all boston red sox fans are gay or transgender

and that 67% of gay bars are not in frisco, but in boston?

Your part of the 89%.

OMG! ha ive never heard that before!!!! Thats really bad. Really false…………..

its 97% false

No, just because they’re arrogant dickheads doesn’t make them gay or transgender. Now, isn’t that slightly homophobic to portray the people you dislike as homosexuals?

Could be true … Sounds like you want a date with one

I’m sorry you have no life or girlfriend to go out with on Saturday night.

I’m a Red Sox fan and I’m totally straight. Ask your sister.

I’m a red sox fan, and i’m sure as hell not fucking gay. Let me meet your wife or girlfriend and i’ll show them a good time….. oh wait… you probably don’t have either probably cuz your a fucking faggot, not red sox fans

And yet they’re still second to Yankees fans in that regard.

  • GOOD I LOVE JEFF LAWRIE CANADA
  • Keeper team?
    Pretty good team. Good young players in Lawrie, Wieters, Stanton, Harper, Arencibia.
  • MLB.com team??

    It’s smart to have atleast 2 pitching staffs,,they bring in a lot of points,and you don’t want to have too many days you can’t start one.

    Wieters isn’t eligible at utility?I thought everyone was.

    If this is not a keeper league I’d package Harper in a trade,cash in on his hype.His hype is way more then his production will be.If it’s a keeper league stash him on the last spot on your bench.Harper could eventually be really good,but no 19 year old has ever produced very much as far as fantasy stats are concerned.Ken Griffey Jr. was probably the best at that age,and he only had 17 homers.

    Hardy will probably not hit 30 homers again,but he’ll enhance the rest of your teams BEASTLY power.You are definitely strong in homers & rbis.Your team speed is pretty much non existent,batting average is average,but they’ll score a good amount of runs.Your pitching staffs are really good,so I’d give your team an 8 out of 10.

Your thoughts on these total win predictions for the MLB 2012 season

As some of u know I’m not really into predictions this early but i found this article that i thought would be interesting to post. Has the predicted total wins for all MLB teams this season. Your thoughts? Agree or disagree? ->

Arizona Diamondbacks: 86
Atlanta Braves: 87.5, moved to 87
Baltimore Orioles: 69.5
Boston Red Sox: 89.5
Chicago Cubs: 74.5 .
Chicago White Sox: 74
Cincinnati Reds: 86.5
Cleveland Indians: 86.5
Colorado Rockies: 82,
Detroit Tigers: 92.5
Florida Marlins: 84.5
Houston Astros: 64.5, moved to 64
Kansas City Royals 80.5
Los Angeles Angels: 92.5
Los Angeles Dodgers: 81
Milwaukee Brewers: 83.5
Minnesota Twins: 75

Tampa Bay Rays: 87
Texas Rangers: 91.5
Toronto Blue Jays: 80
Washington Nationals: 82.5, moved to 84.5 -
It is betting over/under line. Should have been more specific about that i apologize.

Disagree.

Who is predicting teams with half a win?

Looks more like over/under betting lines to me. Not predictions.

LEGFUJOE NEEDS HIS AS BEAT BADLY! IT LOOKS RIGHT, BUT YANKS AT 99 WINS

San Francisco Giants will make the postseason but probably lose out to the Phillies

Depressing. I had such high hopes. Vegas says the Red Sox won’t even make the playoffs. I AM Depressed.

looks to be fairly good.

They look pretty good.

@Chaos if you think that’s bad, the experts over at bleacherreport.com had the Mets at 61 wins, only one game better than the Astros, and the Marlins at 93 wins.

I am aware, but someone actually believe that the Mets are the second worst team in the league and the Marlins will win 93 games is an idiot.

Mets will get more than 71 wins.

At David: That site is purely a opinion site. It’s just as opinionated as Yahoo Answer predictions.

most of these are unbelievable

Yowee I don’t even know total games played in a season but this is cool beans info.

For you I hope the Yanks go higher.
For me I hope the Tigers get on a louder growl.

This is not the total # of wins, its the over/under, and the Mets, I believe will come in with about 82, and if one of their pitchers is ready, they could win 90, I’m not throwing in the towel on 2012. They’ll be better than the Marlins and the Gnats.

I honestly don’t care — predictions have no bearing on reality.

D-backs are going to be bad this year. Count on it.

They are unbelievable odds

Well, I could make a lot of money by betting the under on all 30 teams. Add up the total predictions and they’re 17 games over .500 for all of the major leagues.

While not a huge fan I know you enjoy the Yankees. As a Texan, I’d like the Rangers to have some outstanding performances, but don’t follow the sport well enough to know the strength of the competition. The number you posted though seems pretty decent.

are the boston orioles really that low? i didn’t think so. royals having a nice 80 wins? that’s nice for them. yankees sound fine and that’s all that i know. the nats i don’t care what they win cause i do like to watch them and they do try very hard.
