[...] don’t get easier for the Phillies after that Mets series as the Red Sox come into town. I picked the Red Sox to win the World Series this year, and I still think that they are the favorites. But hey, we are [...]

oh come on… The red sox? They won’t beat the yanks this year OR the rays. 3rd place imo.

I’m a yankees fan and I would even rank the phils ahead of the red soxs.

Pete, if you like these guys so much, why don’t you trade me for JD Drew in fantasy?

yeah, i wanted no part of them either.

i guess this does mean I'm not predicting a repeat. The Red Sox, on paper, are a better team than we are right now, and while not by a decent margin, I never thought to put the Phillies ahead of them.

I guess its official Pete? You are saying that the Phils won’t repeat in 2009?

The Red Sox, like you said, are dangerous from top to bottom, and what scares me even more is they are scrappy. These guys are dirt on your uniform, give it 110% baseball players. I would have loved to have seen a Boston/Philly WS last year, but I was also scared to death of it.

On paper they are a stellar team top to bottom, but also play in the best division in baseball right now. Should make for some good games to watch with the Sox/Yanks and Sox/Rays on ESPN b/c they will be televised just about every night.

The Phils have them at home this year, and hopefully we can show them who the reigning WS champs are by taking the series. Overall they are a great team and the type of team that makes me thank god for the AL/NL split come playoff time. Prediction: Red Sox/Phils WS. Phils repeat in 7.
