Fire Bloom .

[mvp 78]

They have done this a few years now, my only bitch is it takes an overpriced ticket and over prices it, I only see a few games a year so it doesn’t effect me that much, just checked ticket prices for remaining games, looks like big discounts on all tickets,

 

I understand the complaint.

[Old Red]

Are you serious?

 

“Gee a bunch of random people on a Red Sox forum from varying walks of life and all completely unaffiliated with the Red Sox can’t determine what their plan is. If that doesn’t prove they don’t have one, I don’t know what will.”

The WL column has this year, and will going forward. I only consider myself a amateur sleuth myself, but I can’t speak for the rest.

[notin]

We're much closer than you think. I do have a gorilla costume at home just like Theo!

 

You might be the exception, but the rest of us probably wouldn't recognize a plan if it was handed to us.

 

And I'm ONLY excepting you because of the gorilla costume...

You do seem to try a lot.

 

And what makes you think winning and losing involves a plan for this offseason? What do you suppose a plan even looks like?

Winning, and losing is the only thing that counts in the long run, good plan, or bad plan. I’ve already given my opinion on where a plan should start, and that is Bogey, or Raffy coming, or going, or both. The contract offers both got, before the season even started looks like Bloom looking for his first idea, and it hasn’t come to him yet.

My plan is to go do something constructive as soon as this gd rain stops.

We did have a poster here that once gave Larry Lucchino a ride home once!

As JH said on the Felger, and Mass show Larry Lucchino runs the Red Sox, so he gave the top guy the lift.

[mvp 78]

As the TalkSox historian, I believe it was Larry's.

I assume his car has incredible AC to handle a trip down to those fiery pits...

It wasn't the AAA version of Larry either. It was the real deal.

That sounds like a well thought out plan.

So one brief stop at the crossroads along the way to teach Robert Johnson to play guitar...

Didn't ask about your plan. But I will say, if your plan is for Raffy and Bogey to be "coming, or going, or both", it probably differs from Bloom, who won't simply sit down and plan by listing all possible (and even one impossible) outcomes...

Wait!! Is our hero the poster? Or Larry?

We'll have to ask him about Robert Johnson the next time he comes in.

I'm more of a Blind Willie Johnson man myself.

C'mon now.

Not like I had a name! Not even the fake one he uses here!

You have to have an idea first, before you can formulate a plan, and I think Bloom is still looking for that first idea thus the looking for the third option at the fork in the road analogy, because if those first offers to Bogey, and Raffy were his plan he’d better come up with a new one, because that certainly didn’t work.

Again, you're operating on the assumption that just because you don't know the plan, there isn't one. And listening to Felger and Mazz actually doesn't put you in the know; they don't talk to Bloom either...

[Bobe2]

I realize that, but the big question is do they. If the trade deadline is any indication I’m not so sure. As I have voiced many times I’m not in the Bloom I trust camp, and to me this off season will go a long way in showing if Bloom is a Boy Wonder, or a Boy Blunder.

 

I believe that they have a plan and it’s right in front of us, the Rays plan, have one or two players with draw appeal (Franco now Kiermaier soon to be gone) invest in pitching, and have a few prospects with cheap minor league contracts, and some low cost one year free agents and hope you catch lightning in a bottle

And you are operating on the assumption there is a plan based on what? Your devotion, and trust in Bloom? I haven’t listened to Felger, and Mass for sometime now, but even when I did I didn’t base any opinion on what Mass said just like I don’t on anything you say.

The Rays never sign Story for $140M/6.

 

The Rays would have sold off Bogey a year or three ago.

 

The Rays would have traded Kiki, Nate, Wacha, Hill and Strahm at the deadline.

 

The Rays would never have traded for JBJ's contract or Ottavino's.

 

Need more?

They did talk to John Henry once, which is just about as good as SoxfanForsyth did!

JH graced them with his presence on the show out of the kindness of his heart to help them with ratings. What a guy.

All I can say is maybe Bloom wasn’t the star in Tampa we thought he was if he made that many mistakes, or he realized he would have been run out of Boston or probably a combination of both
