750 On This Trip Before The Break We Good.........

Go RedSox.................

In response to 56redsox's comment:

The San Diego games are at Fenway. 

In response to dgalehouse's comment:

My Bad, Looking Ahead To Much..........

I say they sweep San Diego at Fenway and go 6 and 4 on the road trip, taking 3 out of 4 in Seattle. and 1 out of 3 in one series (Anaheim or Oakland), and 2 out of three in the other (Anaheim or Oakland).  

We sweep Anahiem and Oakland and are swept by Padres and Seattle.... such is the life of a Sox fan

I would really like to play the Dodgers !!!

They need to sweep SD then go at least 5-5 on the trip.

If you sign with the Sox by August 23-25, you'll get your wish.

After the Padre series, it is 10 games on the West Coast against Angels (3), M's (4) and A's (3), then after the break we open up at The Fens with Yanks (3), Rays (4), O's (3).

For those of you who have been following the BoSox for years, you know that regardless of our situation, these West Coast trips are typically sub .500 trips. We need to avoid that with the inter division games at home coming right after the trip.

July will be very telling, without question.

Go Sox

 

I doubt the Red Sox will sweep the home games against the San Diego Padres, who are better than some posters apparently think.

I remember looking back at the end of may and seeing how tough the June schedule looked.  Still uncertain of this team and with Ny and Baltimore playing strong it was still hard to imagine this a first place team.......but here we are past the 1/2 way mark and the Sox are KILLING it. 

ah, Sox hitting the Java Circuit...so much fun

In response to TheExaminer's comment:

We won't sweep the Pads, most likely, and a 5-5 record on the road trip would mean a highly successful trip. I think its going to be more like 4-6 or even 3-7. These trips tend to be very difficult ones for the Red Sox, historically.

So you hate the team, historically speaking?

In response to BurritoT-'s comment:

I like the team just fine. It is you that I dislike.

In response to pumpsie-green's comment:

ah pumpsie, ye who have little faith! If I may concure, I think that the pads are not to happy flying into boston to play the red hot 1st place Boston Red Sox starting tomorrow nite. I say sweep the buggahs right outta town.

In response to Bill-806's comment:

They do....in august...play the Giants too.

In response to hill55's comment:

I agree...don't overlook anyone or you could end up 1-2 in a series like that.

Talks of sweeping the A's and Angels in their homes...highly unlikely. Seattle isn't a piece of cake either...the Sox don't play well there and they do have Hernandez and Iwakuma. It would be very easy to end up 4-6 on this trip ...splitting in Seattle and winning just once in Oakland and LA. I hope we do better but the west coast trips usually aren't much fun...I do remember doing pretty good on one of those trips in 1967 when they won 10 in a row but I haven't seen anything like that in a while.

In response to hill55's comment:

What?

No WAR stats to tell how kickass the Padres are?

I'm so dissapointed...

In response to pumpsie-green's comment:

Keep your finger crossed!

You'll be able to start yet another "They're Done" thread, if that happens.

In response to kannaman's comment:

It's when I hear this BS about sweeping this or that team or cleaning up on the West Coast that the hair really stands up on my neck and smoke comes out of my nostrils.  What crappy memories most of these people have KMan.  Historically we have played like a bunch of bums on the West Coast but, of course, we had FrancoMa managing the team and always ready with pablum and excuses for the team's lame showing out there.  I just pray that Farrell is made of sterner stuff and makes it clear that West Coast or not the team has to keep winning, not da@n excuses t his time. First, though, can we cut the crapola out about the trip and just concentrate on the upcoming series with the Padres.

Yes, the team has been resilient and playing well but we are not a powerhouse.  Our rotation is average and our bullpen is showing signs of wear and tear.  We have to concentrate on each and every game.  So let's concentrate on the game tomorrow----one game and one opponent at a time, or we may be sorry.  Please, guys, learn from the past and don't get too far ahead of yourselves.

I think we should win the SD series, but I have my reservations about a West Coast Trip. We have never really done well with them. if we can come back at .500 for the trip, I will consider it a success.

 

I'm looking forward to the Red Sox vs. A's series.  

It's more like Current Red Sox players (Red Sox) vs. Former Red Sox players (A's).   LOL
