7/29 v A's

[TheKilo]

The difference is, I'm not running around in circles yelling 'MAEK A TRAED!!! MAEK A TRAED!!!' at the top of my lungs.

 

Oh let me guess - that's not panicking, that's just being smart!!!!11!!

 

Completely honest question - do you feel this team is a WS contender if they do not make a deal?

 

If so, why?

[ms_sox]

I think I'll go for a long walk on a nice late afternoon day.

Maybe when I get back the game will be going better and I'll turn it on then.

Clearly the most lucid remark that you have made on the board.

[P3dro1a15]

Ill still watch it cause they are my team but it won't be fun and ill probably be a little intoxicated by the end

 

Getting a damn sox tattoo tomorrow this should be fun

Completely honest question - do you feel this team is a WS contender if they do not make a deal?

 

If so, why?

 

Yes.

 

The top of the rotation is excellent. Beckett and Lester is an awesome 1-2 punch. As much as I would love Halladay, he isn't a guy we need to get if we're to have any chance to win anything. Depth is where we could use improvement, and since I still really doubt that Ricciardi will actually trade us Halladay for anything less than an obscene package, we should be focusing more on those guys (Doug Davis, Jarrod Washburn).

 

The lineup is slumping horribly, but when these guys are performing up to par (individually), its a good lineup. Is Jason Bay going to keep on declining and end up with .400 OPS for the month of September? I don't think so. And if our big bats do suck for the rest of the year, we're not winning anything anyway, no matter what we do on the trade front. One player doesn't solve everything. If we trade a boatload of prospects for Gonzalez, and the offense continues to struggle, how would you feel then? Again, there's nothing wrong with some bolstering here and there.

 

The bullpen is what it is right now. Its talented, but nothing's guaranteed as last night showed.

 

Yes, we're a contender. We're 1.5 ahead of the Rangers in the wild card, and that's a team I think is destined to fold down the stretch. They haven't been here before, their pitching is still rather limited (albeit a lot better than recent years). Our only real challengers for the WS are the Yankees and Tigers (we dominate the Angels in the playoffs all the time, we're probably in their heads at this point, so I'm not worried about a playoff meeting).

I am a loyal fan. I just sat through last night and I don't think I have the patience to not kill anything if I sit through tonight. I might as well just save the time, effort, aggravation, and whatever I break by saying "F*** it all" and not watching.

[Spudboy]

No way we are a contender we have no fight or fire or desire just going through the motions

 

Oh Jesus. You were honest.

 

What is wrong with you?

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

"We like our club"

 

"Cost of milk is too high"

It is all day with you...
