Red Sox-Yankees rivalry extends to offseason

[Kimmi]

It's extremely hard to repeat, that's for sure.

It certainly looks like the Red Sox, Yankees and Astros are going to be the iron again.

The Devil Rays are trying to make some noise.

Is it 1998 again?

Dammit I figured the Yankees would be ahead by the end. What a waste of time.

Vegas currently has the Red Sox as slight favorites. Not sure whether or not the wise guys factor WAR projections into their odds .

Wonder how the odds look after the Yanks get Machado and the Dodger get Harper.

Umm moonslob, why wouldn't I want to see this?

In fact, it actually backs up what I said, that eovaldi is not better than Happ.

Although it does predict that devers will come in higher than Andujar and Torres. I'll stick with my guys.

1. The Red Sox should never make a move to counter a move that the Yankees have made.
2. What the heck is he even talking about that a 6 year deal for Kimbrel suddenly doesn't seem so outrageous? Of course it's outrageous.
3. Do the Yankees have baseball's best bullpen? I don't know.
4. The Yankees had baseball's best bullpen last year, one that was capable of shortening a game to 3 innings. Where did that get them?
5. The Red Sox are still the team to beat. Plain and simple.

this post should have ended this stupid thread.

4. It got us one Benintendi diving catch away from taking you to a game 5 with a battered Chris Sale in Fenway. The Yanks were the only team to actually put up a fight against Boston.

hahahaha. what?
do you even know which team you root for?
or are you delusional thinking the yankees were in the ALCS this year?
too funny.
