Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

Schill rebounded with a strong performance and Papelbon was lights out once again.
Red Sox pitching has been looking fairly decent thus far.
Meanwhile, the Yankees pitching has been woeful. Can you say "Transition Year?"
If our horrendous pitching after the first five games leaves us at 2-3, and your decent pitching thus far leaves you at 3-3, I wouldn't take that as a positive if I were you.
Our pitching, though clearly not dominant, is NOT going to stay this bad, and yours is certainly not going to be much better than it is now.
Considering you're leading us by half a game, I'm thrilled.

Boston has been on the road so far and NY has played at home.
I wouldn't be too thrilled. The Yanks will be playing plenty of 10-9 games if this keeps up.

You should know better than anyone that early winning streaks in the beginning of the season can turn into late losing streaks at the end - I think I'll wait until after the all star break before counting any chickens
You're right. I concede the division race .... to Toronto.
Talking smack in April..... when will sox fans learn??
Your pitching has been subpar as of late, of course that is helped along very well by injuries in your rotation. Our pitching hasn't exactly been much, maybe average at best overall, and Schilling has been on and off so far so we will see.
Now that I have spoken logically... You guys suck and we are going to win the World Series.

All you nooby dooby doos need to stop making stupid threads.:coffee:

Last year in July when the Sox had around a 5 game lead, Sox fans were telling me how it's their year and there isn't anyway the Yankees can come back.
I simply told them to put their money where there mouth was, and some listened. Those who did made me happy
For some reason, us missing our ace, and the fact that a) Pettitte was recovering from an injury b) Mussina may not have been ready yet, c) It was Igawa's first start, and d) the fact that the Bosox are only up half a game on the Yankees (No one's worried about Toronto or *gasp* tampa bay)...
I'm pretty much completely unworried about how the season will play out.
Would I have preferred to see better pitching thus far? Of course.
Do I think it'll continue the whole season? No way.

I didn't count any chickens. I simply said the Yankees pitching staff has been woeful and that's an accurate statement.

But, if you'd look a little closer, you would be terrified.
The starting pitching may suck, but as you know NONE of them have gone more than 5 innings.
And the bullpen's ERA? It's somewhere around 1.something.
The Bullpen was one of our biggest problems last year...this year, not so much.
Obviously, we don't have the best starting pitching. BUT, we are missing our true ace. Pettitte needs more innings after recovering, and Kei Igawa is clearly no Daisuke, but he's only had one start, give him some time, I'm sure he'll do better. Pavano had just made his first start in years, and who knows about Mussina.
And if all other options fail...we'll bring in some of the top prospects in the minors--our pitching prospects.
You don't need to hear about our offense...it's the only reason we've won two games, but our bullpen's fantastic (Mo has had 18 consecutive scoreless innings going back to last season...hasn't allowed a run since last august), and once the starting pitching turns around....watch out PCE.
I've got to hand it to Papelbon, he was really frustrating to watch yesterday. If he can keep that up---nah I won't think about it.
