Questions for panicking Red Sox fans

1. With 156 games left, do you think the Red Sox have enough time to close the 4 game gap with the Yankees?

2. Do you think Kevin Youkilis will finish the season batting .105?

3. Will the Red Sox home record improve from 0-0?

4. Do you think that Blue Jays infielder Yunel Escobar is going to win the batting title? He currently leads the AL with a .474 average.

5. While the Red Sox are slumping, the Orioles are in first place in the East, the Indians and Royals are tied for first in the Central (with the Royals playing the most exciting baseball in the majors) and the Pirates are a 1 1/2 games out of first in the NL Central. Should those teams be printing playoff tickets?


CALM DOWN!!!!!!!

Oh My God! The Yankees signed Teixeira! It's awful! Baseball Needs A Salary Cap! The Yankees just bought a World Series! AAAAAHHHH! AHHHHH!!!!

OK, now that you found my site by Googling those words in the subject heading, let me tell you to calm down.

Read this posting about the Yankees buying championships.
Read this posting about Salary Caps.
Read this posting about Parity in Baseball.
Read this posting about how the best team in the regular season has a good chance of NOT making the World Series.

And while you are at it, watch this. It has nothing to do with baseball, but it is funny.

Now relax.
All the Yankees have bought are more stars who have never played for a big market before and have no idea how big the expectations are.

Watch A Christmas Story and exhale.
