POLL: What is the next New England sports team to win a championship?

robertweathers said:

Red Sox made some major moves this year. They should be a contender in 2016

Pats are there now. They just need an oil change and need to fix a busted tail light.

Bruins are the Bruins. Need some blue liners badly

Celtics need a 20ppg guy and a rebounder/shot blocker.

After the Pats the Sox.

Betts, Boegarts, Benintendi, Moncada, Swihart, Price, E-Rod, Kimbrel, Anderson Espinoza. Just a few That's a hell of a team for the next 3-5 years. Not to include other FAs and trades.

Kinda hard to answer this when you dont pay any attention at all to one of them.. didnt the redsox completely suck last year?

I follow all of the above and it's my opinion that the Red Sox, Celtics, and Bruins are all good but not great teams. There's only one great team in the list and they're most likely to win a championship before the other three. Mind you, it's been a phenomenal 20 or so years to be a Boston sports fan.

Clearly the Celts with a 16-0 postseason run to end the year, including sweeps over both Cleveland and Golden State.

Really though, they've made some nice progress.

Dombrowski is a helluva GM. Loves the power arms and power hitters.

Actually...I think it's gonna be the Red Sox! They are on fire!

There are other sports???

A Cubs vs. Red Sox World Series would be pretty cool. The Sox are starting to have that look about them.

I voted Pats. But the Redsox are a real possibility--if they can beat the Cubs.

Anderson Espinoza is no longer with the Sox and Moncada will not be on the post season roster.

If we end up with a Sox / Cubs world series, the end result will probably be the apocalpyse, rendering the answer to this question either "the Red Sox" or utterly irrelevant.

Yeah, 4 straight comebacks to sweep the Yankees--then following it up with that sweep of the Orioles--is kinda spooky. **** like that has to make you wonder if they're this years designated team that rips off a huge hot streak at the perfect time. Which seems to be the best predictor for who's going to win the World Series. As long as Hanley, Porcello and Mookie keep doing what they're doing, I like our chances against anyone.

Boston Red Sox followed by the Pats

Yes, this is definitely a great time to be a Boston sports fan.

And the start of the NBA season is only weeks away!!!!

For me, every year won or lose is a great time to be a Boston Sports Fan

Red Sox get the first crack, and their lineup is getting scary. Starters may be good enough and bullpen not overworked. They certainly can win the AL and have the firepower to stay with the Cubs. And the pressure on the Cubs is just starting. If Sox don't then the Pats. Two-fer anyone?

This has been a crazy ride since 2001 for us though. Four superbowl wins, three world series wins, NBA championship, NHL championship. Which state has ever had this widespread success within fifteen years?

OT - Red Sox and NE are winning the championships.

1: Red Sox
2: Patriots
3: Celtics
4: Bruins
5: Revolution

I think the red sox pitching and bullpen will let them down. So my vote is Pats
