Well, they could if they worked on their full court press, dribbling, and slapshots. But when they get near the wicket, they always seem to fumble the ball and wind up in the penalty box for the rest of the quarter. But at least the halftime shows are good.......

I don't believe in luck. I don't believe in curses either, which is why I posted the red sox would come back when they were down 3 games last year.
Well the sox got 2 of 2, but after tonight we're tied at first again. Gee the Yanks are tied for last agin.. hmmm funny but that is almost as refreshing :lol:
bchcky, I grew up in Mass. Went to Fenway often as a kid, watching Fisk, Rice, Yaz, Tiant and the bunch play. Moved here at 11 yrs old and slowly became an O's fan. It is tough rooting against the Sox and the only time I do is when they play the O's.
They do it again on Monday...

there's a chance i'm moving to baltimore in a year. i thought about the whole orioles thing. i dont wish anything bad upon them. but i'm a sox fan through and through. no way i could ever root for a division rival, or another league team for that matter. thats not to say i wouldnt mind watching the o's play.

you might want to check out your link again TC, i'm not sure it says what you wanted it to say.TwistedCopper said:
i said on the first page of this thread that i didnt think they'd keep it up. they'll make it a race, but if the sox get the bullpen help they need, the O's havent got a prayer. the wild card could easily come out of the west or central this season. you said the O's have the best lineup in baseball before... take a look at who leads the MAJORS in runs scored, team BA, and team OBP. i'll give you a hint, its not the orioles. roberts is doing great, and he's fun to watch, but the sox leadoff hitter isnt too shabby either.
just wanted to point out that there's a new leader on the block, not that it matters now, i could care less honestly. but its a start, and if it results in something good in september, i'm all for it.

Ye of little faith!
On the contrary I believe they not only have a prayer (they at least have mine
), but they will keep it up. Sure they're slumping a bit but injuries will do that. As they get healthy and come back the win column will be lit up again. The Sox are a solid club... I hope it to be neck & neck the whole season. 1st place, wild card... they will be the ones but who will be where is yet to be seen.

ah yes the famous injury line. shall we play that game? damon's had a hurt shoulder all year, and thats scary when you look at the numbers he's put up thus far. renteria's been nursing a sore wrist for the past few weeks as well, but he couldnt get a day off, because our utility infielder had two bum legs. kevin youkilis came in to pinch run last week of all people. david wells enjoyed a stint on the disabled list. wade miller didnt even start the season with the team. ohhh, and there's that curt schilling guy too, heard of him? he's yet to be fully healthy this year. and for anyone who wasnt under a rock in october last year, they know what a fully healthy curt schilling can do.
i'm merely pointing it out. my opinion is simply that the sox have a better team top to bottom. so as quick as you were to point out and start this thread when they enjoyed their first days in first place, i'm simply returning the favor, and reminding you what your link now says for first place...

RE: Top 4 SUVs in NHTSA Roll Over Tests.
I don't think they CAN afford it. The players just need to bite the bullet or else the will kill the golden, albeit tarnished, goose. Unemployment is worse than a salary cap.
If they do agree to some sort of revenue reflected cap that's all great. But there won't be much revenue left if the lock out continues. The owners are just doing what ALL business must do: pay market price for their employees. I don't know where the players union get's off trying to ask for money that isn't there.
But there is some light at the end of the tunnel. Sounds like the Players are going to accept the most recent offer:

Nice sig pic bchcky. Boy they took a spankin' tonight. With all the injuries on their pitching staff they know what the O's dealt with the month leading up to the All-Star break. The O's should have most everyone back in a week or so.
By the way, they enjoyed 1st longer than their 1st days... and, by the way, here they come again (now that we don't need to use the ol' "injury line"

there is no deadlier 1-2 combo than manny and big papi. most people think manny is having an off year, and he had 80 rbi at the break. if thats an off year, i'll take it.
we still gotta get schilling figured out. he pitched a good inning tonight, but i'm not sold yet that he's healthy. if he can help them for now from the pen i'm all for it. but nobody will argue that he's most valuable as the #1 starter. and they wont get far in the playoffs without him either. man do i love baseball.
