Bill:
So Dave "A Beautiful Mind"
Pinto has posted his AL East preview, and, wow, does it predict to be a tight race.
Bill:
For probability of winning the division his algorithm forecasts:
1. Yankees, 32%
2. Red Sox, 30%
3. Rays, 28%
Doug:
Tight? Holy shit that is tightah than a nun's ass on a Holy Day of Obligation!
Bill:
Seriously. But I'd still want to go into a Septembah pennant race with our lineup ovah that of the Yankees or Rays.
Doug:
Oh absolutely. We've got the best pitching and pitching wins Championships.
Bill:
I know we are loaded. Going into Opening Day
the Red Sox may have the best pitching staff in the majors.
Doug:
We are so loaded
we are sending a guy who had a monstah Spring down to Pawtucket.
Bill:
About that … If Buchholz has confidence issues, isn't sending him down aftah proving himself this spring kind of a kick in the old confidence balls?
Doug:
Maybe. Or is it just what he needs?
Bill:
It's times like these when I'm glad I'm just a simple fan who doesn't have to make those decisions.
Doug:
I'm a simple
unfrozen caveman
fan. Your complex psychological decisions frighten and confuse me.
