Chemistry is of the same substance. If everyone on a team hates each other, they will not win. Egos need to be checked at the door. Just look at why the Yankees havent been able to do anything in the last 6 years? No role players, everyone on that team thinks THEY ARE the team. You cant win with that mindset.

Its a team game, of many individual performances.
I am being stubborn because I don't and won't ever trust a magic force over actual ability. There are a billion examples of teams with great chemistry coughing it up at the last second. How about the Tigers this year? How about the 2003 Red Sox? How about the 2001 Seton Hall Pirates? I didn't think I'd actually have to support that position because it's logical and based in reality.

We'll just have to agree to disagree here and stop polluting this Red Sox thread.
