Oooooooooooooooooh, in that case............

[gales0678]

tell me why it's not the case look at boston's home record

i know someone who watches all the red sox games , it's getting laughable (the strike zone) now , even bobby cox went off about it

they don't get the same treatment on the road ----that's why they win 20 more games a year at home , it's that simple folks

Yeah, Bobby Cox should talk.
But theSox were/are a good team. Are you trying to say that the umps have that much influence that made the Sox play 24 games over .500 at home?

not 24 , they are +116

why can't they beat the same teams on the road over '04-'09 , what, do the good players from the other teams not play(sit on the bench) when they are in boston? i don't think so

i could see 1 yr , maybe 2yr's ,but now we are going on more than a half decade - this has to stop

Ok, so over a 4 year period it's 29 games over .500 at home. So they roughly went 53-29 at home during the last 4 years. With a big bulk of games against the Jays, O's and Rays (who before last year were not good & you can actually throw the bombers in there too). I guess you discount home field advantage. I personally think that they just had damn good teams, period.

yeah but if those teams stink like you say , shouldn't they beat them anywhere , my point is if they played the games on the jersey turnpike boston should win at a healthy clip away from Fenway - the 5 yr peroid suggests they are an average team on the road and a way above average team at home (again 1 or 2 yr sample is too small)

Why do people make me defend the red sox? I hate them but the facts are the facts:

The sox have the best road record in the american league. They did last year as welll
