Five games is an absurdly small sample size, the equivalent of the second quarter on opening week of an N.F.L. season. And seven of the eight playoff teams from last season lost five in a row at some point.
Then again, only one team in the wild-card era, the 1995 Cincinnati Reds, has reached the postseason after starting 0-5. No team has won the World Series after starting with so many losses.

This is a super talented team...certainly much more talented than any of the other teams that didn't make the playoffs that started 0-5. Carmona is pitching today so they may very well be 0-6. It will just fatten the line up if you want a future bet on them.
I will take all of the heat on this one (as a Red sox HATER) if they end up not making playoffs. I am confident that they will win the division by at least a couple of games.

I just think it's funny that Boston fans try to differentiate themselves from the Evil Empire when the rest of the world sees them as the Evil Empire-New England.

I always found that to be a bit comical with Sox fans. Somehow the Yankees "buy" championships but when they sign Manny or Pedro or Crawford or Gonzales, somehow they are "growing" their team the old fashioned way.
Make no mistake, the Sox buy their championships just like any other team.

Boston has built their teams in the 2000's through shrewd moves with a few big money signings. Pedro was acquired via trade Gonzalez was acquired via trade Beckett and Mike Lowell via trade Pedroia was drafted by Boston Youkilis was drafted by Boston Ellsbury was drafted by Boston Varitek was acquired via trade (along with Derrick Lowe) Lester was drafted by Boston Buchholz was drafted by Boston Papelbon was drafted by Boston Bard was drafted by Boston Wakefield was signed by Boston for 175k as a FA after being released by the Pirates Ortiz signed as a FA for 1.2 million after being released by the Twins Lowrie drafted by Boston Millar signed as FA for 2 million a year Damon signed as FA for 7 million a year (same as previous year) Schilling was acquired via trade Foulke signed as FA for 3.5 million (or half of what he had made the previous year) Arroyo was claimed off of waivers by Boston Mueller was signed as a FA for 2.1 million (less than his previous 2 years salary with the Cubs) Bellhorn was given to Boston for nothing by the Rockies Crisp was acquired by trade Okajima was signed as an Intl F for 1.2 million Victor Martinez was acquired via trade Boston's major FA signings "splurges" Lugo was signed as a FA for 8 million (not exactly thier finest hour) JD Drew was signed as a FA for 14 million Manny was signed as a FA for avg 18 million Daisuke was signed as an Int'l FA for 8.3 million (they did pay a huge posting fee) Lackey was signed as a FA for avg 16 million a year Beltre was a 1 year, 10 million FA signing that netted them a 1st round pick when he signed with Texas Cameron signed as a FA for 7.5 million These are the major players on the 2 WS winning teams and players since 2004. Do I really need to go through the Yankees for a comparison?
