9/09 SOX @ O's 7:05PM ET

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Looks like pitchers have found another way to strike Story out. Way inside; he can't help himself and his fingers are taking a beating.

When Cora won with those players, he was called " the greatest manager in Sox history." And when the Sox finished tied for second last year (8 games out of first}, he was praised again. And Bloom was lauded. Apparently, credit is given for success, but no blame is issued for failure. That's how it is with some of our more biased observers.

 

Lots of made up stuff here.

 

moon is the only one who said Cora was the greatest manager in Sox history.

 

And Bloom has been getting plenty of blame for this year, even from guys like moon, who has never let up about the Bradley trade.

 

You're way too selective with what you read and remember.

[Bellhorn04]

Cora can win with a healthy Cris Sale, David Price, Eovaldi, Eduardo Rodriguez, and Rick Porello with a shutdown closer getting 42 saves and a middle of the lineup with Mookie, Devers, Bogey And JD in his prime. And just a little bit of cheating. Winning with those guys was nothing short of genius.

 

Cora should be fired. He’s nothing special.

 

Which managers are special though, 700? Based on your previous comments, you pretty much think all managers are bozos.

Starting with you. I brought up that this team and payroll are still 50% inherited - a situation that was far, far, far worse when Bloom took over - but nope. It’s been 3 years and that means Bloom signed Sale and Martinez and all those bad deals…

Biased: anyone who disagrees with a certain poster(s.)

The truth hurts. Reality hurts.

You'll get over it. It's okay.

Yep, very few should make even the league minimum. None should get multi-year contracts. They are easily replaceable.
