Boston is playing well winning last 5 straight at Fenway where they are batting a ridiculous 322 as a team. Toronto bullpen has been horrendous as Cliff polite has blown as many saves as he has converted.

Grady Little has put a fly in the ointment tonight by starting McCarty in L field, Jackson in Center & Kaplar in right field.


Wakefield has been very dependable, and the Sox bullpen is starting to gel, but tonight Toronto could be worth a look.

If interested in Toronto, jump now, this lineup isn't public yet.

Good luck

Little is an idiot:mad: :eek: Someone needs to remind him he is in a pennant race. Mccarty and jackson couldn't hit their way out of a paper bag.

Man this kind of shit really pisses me off.

Wayne, sent you a couple email regarding tonight Patriots/bears. Kind of off topic, but here is some numbers.

Patriots averaging 26 + points this preseason
Patriots averaging giving up 10 + points this preseason
Patriots averaging 5 sacks this preseason opposed to 2 last season.
Patriots yielding 0 points first quarter this preseason

Chicago average scoring 16 points this preseason
Chicago Defense average yielding 20 + points this preseason

total hard to handicap here because hard to imagine starters playing much considering what recently happened to Jets & Falcons. Last season Brady played first 4 Series in final preseason game throwing 10 passes.

Something to consider however, Patriots extremely deep at wr position. They don't want to part with any of these players however they can't keep all (Brown, Patten, Bethel Johnson, Ward, Givens, branch) all of these guys can fly & catch the ball. I think with the exception of Troy Brown, the other 5 are playing for 4 spots tonight. I thinking Patriots will be given each some chances throwing the ball tonight. Perfect weather for game tonight 80 degrees and light winds.

Good luck buddy

I think Ward is the odd man out here. Brown, Patten, Branch and Bethel Johnson are locks in my book. Johnson has too much raw speed to cut him. Givens has had some OK plays this preseason, I think Ward is out.

I still take the Pats at -5. Their defense is very deep and should have a field day against the Bears. Have played them all 3 times as the dog this preseason and been rewarded, so I wont get off the train just yet!

ace, believe it or not David Patt en was the odd man out before his 2 touchdown game last week. As much as Bellchick likes him ,brown branch & Johnson as you said are locks. Ward has vast experience in Bellchick offensive system and can play any of the receiver positions. Plus Ward is a asset on special teams, Patten doesn't play specialty teams. Givens has improved as much as any player on the team at any position. He is their only receiver with height, and was a constant at all off season workouts. He spent the entire off season up here and has becomes a favorite of Bellchick.
