Hmm, yeah, that was a goof.

Santana puts you in the ALCS this year? I disagree. The Tribe had some success against him this year. He went 0-5 in 6 starts, with a 4.38 ERA. You can't tell me that undoubtedly turns the series in your favor.

No its quite simple how he gives us an advantage. We get great production of a position not many other teams get. Maybe if you replace CMW (0-2 19.06 ERA) with Santana in the playoffs we might get passed the the ALDS. I wonder if Santana could play SS? Maybe instead of grounding into those double plays Santana would just strike out.

Good thing Johan Santana was a sure bet to get the Sox into the World Series...

Even if we had Johan, I dont think we make it to the ALDS. And even if we did, this team wouldnt have done enough to win the WS. Nobody cares if you get a participation banner. Only the rings matter

I don't have time to go look, but I hope you didn't use the "Well at least we didn't miss the playoffs in 2006" argument the last few years...

I probably did. But we know what the bottom line is.
