Already some chinks in the armor Skankee fans. Pettite, Posada, Rivera… all slightly banged up and we’re only in May. This is what happens when you field a team of geriatrics. Last year, the Skanks were sitting on a horseshoe all season – this year, you may – just may – not be as lucky.
Fast forward to three months from now when we see all the crying about injuries on here. Long season gals – buckle in.
Yes and I suppose your team of spring chickens will go through the season unscathed. Oh I forgot Ellsbury and Cameron were already on the DL. Do you see any of our players outside of Granderson on the DL? Do us a favor got hang out with your white trash fan base and go burn crosses or something.
Average age of Red Sox position players (per Baseball Ref): 31.4
Average age of Yankee position players: 30.8
Sox have the edge in terms of pitching age, 31.5 to 30.2, but that hasn’t translated into success: they have the 5th worst ERA in the AL, while the Yanks have the 3rd best.
Sox have also lost 2/3 of their outfield due to injury, and they’d probably be better off if Daisuke re-injured himself.
I’ve been too busy watching the C’s and B’s to be riveted to April baseball. You know, some cities actually have winter-sports playoff teams.
I love taking my chances in this division. A Rays team that will not keep up the .700+ pace and a Yanks team where the pitching staff has especially logged a helluva lot of innings the past few years. I mean, AJ Burnett’s about seven months overdue for a trip to the DL. Get your jollies in April fellas – a long way to go.
We don’t care about winter sports; we’re baseball people. And if your team were any good, you’d be a bit more engaged by the early season. Heck, when you went up 8-0 on the series last year, that’s all any of you Sox fans would talk about.
The fact is April DOES matter, and it’s putting the Sox in a tough spot to make the playoffs. So enjoy those winter sports; you’re not going to have a team to root for come October.
the new RSN zombiespeak is “bridge year”
They’re clearly committed to run prevention this year. Why else would Big Sloppy still be on the roster?
Big Poppup… won’t make it through the weekend!
I love both teams equal
Shame on NoMaas for forgetting to credit me for the photograph. Who wants Boston Creampie?
I DO! I DO!
Hey, boston better wakeup, I haven’t seen such a misleading pile of crap since jerseygirl
That’s why they got rid of me! The advanced metrics showed I didn’t have the range to play for the Sawx.
Hey Ben remember when we went to harvard to mess up some smaaaht kids?
Put me in the rotation. *fist pump*
Probably be a few more dents in the Green Monster after I get done there. I’ll be serving up my world famous meatball all weekend.
Red Sox Still Suck *SMASH*
people at fangraphs aren’t going to like you taking a shot at bill james
What has become of my beloved Red Sox?
Didn’t Matt damon play for both teams?
I am very disturbed by that picture. Good job.

I’m struggling to comprehend the handle “TeamoftheDecade”, because I’m pretty sure the Yankees hold that distinction:
2 WS wins
4 league pennants
8 division titles
9 play-off appearances
vs. Boston’s
2 WS wins
2 league pennants
1 division title
6 play-off appearances
The Red Sox signal must have went off. Kool Aid drinkers rushing to defend.
Don’t even bother, Brosius. These people suffer from mental illness.
If anyone sees Nell Carter there tell her she owes me some royalty checks.
Probably one of the best and most clever photoshops ever. You guys are on fire this season.

Good thing the Sox have guys like me who never get injured.
The Red Sox get back to .500 and the cunts like “teamofthedecade” come out of the woodwork. Like clockwork.

The Red Sox don’t scare me. Their players are off the juice. Papi’s sucks. Run Prevention looks like an epic fail. Enjoy Golftober Bandwagon Nation.

What did the Redsox fan tell the rays fan?
Our team is stronger because you can place the bluejays, the rays and the yankees over us in the standings.
Thank you, i will be here all week
Dont forget to check out Americas Funniest Videos reruns on nickelodeon
Sorry guys, I’m just a little cranky after my playdate with Brett Pedroia.
Only thing uglier then Victor Martinez trying to throw out runners, is the freckle covered trolls who are indigenous to BAAHHHSTAAAN.
I on DL too with a lotta diarrhea.
TeamoftheDecade, Cowboy up.
George Scott, Cecil Cooper and I were just reminiscing about how much we enjoyed our time in Boston. Lovely, lovely town.

Thank God Joe decided to skip me this weekend, I was going to have to ask Chan Ho for whatever he ate last time we were in Boston.
Run prevention? I guess someone forgot to tell V-Mart about that, I think Jorge would wreak havoc on the base paths against him
Hey – remember back in 2005 when the Red Sox gave me a plaque saying that I was the “Best Clutch Hitter in the History of the Red Sox?”
Betcha they didn’t see this coming.
Hey man. Don’t get all jacked up on the B’s. Sid the kid will sweep them next round…and the Celts…well we all know Stern want’s LeBron VS. Kobe.
