They're both baseball talk. Which is better or worse is strictly a matter of personal opinion.

Appropriately timed example, because according to Lou Merloni, this is essentially how the Padres got Bogaerts. Apparently he was not their prime...

I disagree. Like I’ve said many times in the past if you are not playing to win, and playing to make the postseason then don’t play at all. Like Cora...

And of course we always cherry pick the examples that suit our bias. There are other starting pitcher signings that are doing well. But yes,...

I disagree. In December through March, this board was loaded with negativity. Almost everyone predicted another last place finish. Very few said...

Before the season, I really liked Houck, Crawford and Bello in the rotation. I still do, although they’re not as fire as they were in April. But I...

Wanting to be sellers, and not buyers is not putting a positive spin on anything, and most importantly not what Cora, or the players want, and have...

Exactly. But wow has this flopped. The guy who was supposed to at a minimum, supply IP, is out for the year. The guy they didn’t think could...

Yeah but those types are putting a positive spin on a team they view negatively. “Hey this team is no good, but we can use that to make the future...

It made total sense to me. The new CBO didn't need Theo's employee research firm to immediately move on from the past regime's biggest disappointment...

Well that’s precisely my point. I think you need to evaluate players and have convictions and stick to them. Maybe you like Yama and go over the...

Signing more starting pitching would be "going over for the sake of going over" with these guys, it seems. It's not like it was an actual need or...

Calling Grissom Gus was no attempt at any humor. I have lots of nicknames for players. I know two brothers whose last name is Grissom, and they are...

To me the Debbie Downers, and Negative Nancy’s are the ones who talk about having a sell off all the time. I think I’ve heard more of that kind of...

Some folks are negative because the venting is cathartic. If you need this forum to let out some Sox-related frustration, and clacking some keys here...

This is why you are the Goose.

You mean like all the negative Nancy’s, and Debbie Downers that was on here ALL offseason, and shouting Sham, Sham, Sham at the top of his lungs...

No need. I had re-read a lot of this thread recently, and you were clearly on a very short list of people who objected that day. The bulk of the...

I don’t think he’s looking for an all positive forum, but you have to acknowledge that there are a few posters here who only come out during losing...

… and that he would get to that lower payroll at full throttle…

I thought they would go over too, and I expect them too given the track record, market, and fan base. But I don think they should go over just foe...

They reset last year. Oddly enough, it had no impact on this year. Much to everyone's surprise, Kennedy announced to the world in January, with...

If you're looking for a Red Sox fan forum that stays mostly positive, Sons of Sam Horn is the place to be.

I don’t disagree. But if you figure a reset every 2-3 years it makes sense to leave some wiggle room. You can’t 100% predict your payroll on day...

Yes a lot of the booing is well deserved I don’t refute the healthy dose of realistic fan dissent. But it’s the negative Nancie’s, the Donny...

I think most of the booing of Red Sox fans these days is directed at the guys who run the team-owners and front office. The team itself has...
