What he's saying is that there's a difference between being realistic like most of us here are, and a consistently whining twat like some others. If the hat doesn't fit, don't wear it. You're taking something that wasn't directed at you in the first place pretty personal.

 

You're right. Just so frustrated right now.

I mean, are you satisfied with this BS unfolding in front of you?

Sure. It's just baseball. You can't win every year.

Sandoval hadn't posted 20 HRs or 800 OPS in three years.

 

We have plenty of bats. We have one pitcher with 3 career starts. The other 4 stink or in the case of buchholz, he is Forest Gump's box of chocolates.

...they definitely need to do something drastic to fix this mess.

 

Step number one would be to stop treating Holt like a side bitch. He deserves to be an everyday starter in a fixed position more than any 3 other players combined.

It wasn't really directed at anyone in particular. Just a general observation on how people have changed their desires over the past 12 years.

 

As long as people stop wearing panda hats, I'm ok with the 2015 Sox.

No team in the history of baseball has finished last 3 out of 4 years while carrying one of the biggest payrolls in the game in each of those years. This would be historically bad if they go into the tank again.

You sure about that? Because about half of tonight's starting lineup have no track record at all.

While you can't win every year, at least you have to be competitive or in the race as most of the high payroll teams are every year. Thing is that this team is far to be competitive in 3 of the last 4 years.

It's bad, but banners fly forever.

You don't have to be competitive every year. People will still spend stupid money to go to these games. Why should the owners change anything at this point. It's a cash cow.

Which reminds me, who was that Asian pitcher for White Sox or Guardians who had appeared in a gay porn movie?

True, but they don't make it easier to watch this garbage every night.

That's why I'm glad my tv has more than just NESN.

Well said... it's not about choosing one fall guy. A while back we were a bad team just because Salty couldn't frame pitches, for a while it was the Crawford contract, who can forget Josh Beckett eating chicken.... it's so much more than a few players. The organization sucks. Call me spoiled, but I do EXPECT a major market team, with a long proud history, pouring tons of money in the roster, with a huge fan base... to have winning seasons.

 

No s***. This is a disgrace.

It will tax to their pockets if they keep losing.

The Sox history is long, but far from proud.

No this was about ten years ago. Kazuhito Tadano.

 

Through an interpreter, Tadano added: "I'm not gay. I'd like to

clear that fact up right now."

It will have a marginal affect at best. I'm sure they aren't worried.
