    So, you are happy if the team is competitive? What does that mean? I want the Sox to be able to compete to win the Championship. Unless they improve, they will not be able to get by the Yankees. They are not competitive with the Yankees. Don't give me the post season is a crap shoot nonsense. It wasn't last season, and it will not be a crap shoot next season unless the Yankees have a plague hit their team. So, what is competitive for you... 500 ball... a Wild card spot? If that is managements goal, they are stringing along the paying fans like myself by being good enough to give us hope of a Championship when there really is very little chance. Do you invest your money to support the Sox? This is just a waste of bandwidth as are the majority of your posts.

    Really? I thought I was a closet Yankee fan. The goal is to win a Championship, and with the team the Yankees have, the road to the Championship will go through the Yankees. What's your goal... singing Sweet Caroline while we beat K.C.?

    ... and we just spend this summer at the beach, because they'll have no shot at beating the Yankees.

    Yep, for the 7th year in a row. It's a lot of fun.

    I am not a Shaughnessy fan but I agree that Theo and the FO are selling us a bill of goods. Many of the FO toadies and lackeys (not John) who apologize for the FO don't put their money where their mouths are. I spend thousands every year going to Sox games in Boston and Ft. Myers. The ticket prices have gone up. Money has come off their payroll, and we are being told to sit tight until 2012. Will we have enough kids who will become stars in 2012 to fill the SS position, take Drew's place (his contract will be finished and he'll be in his late 30's), and Ortiz who will be gone. Will the farm also yield a catcher, a LFer, and a couple of starters? I don't think so. http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/articles/2009/12/10/fans_shouldnt_buy_red_sox_bridge/

    Joe Maddon... isn't he the guy with the coke-bottle glasses who made out a lineup card with 2 third basemen and no DH this season?

    Ray is a human forfeit against the Yankees
  13. a700hitter
    Who the hell is Max Ramirez! Could they be giving him the back up catcher's job, making Tek the starter again and VMart being the full time first baseman?

    Branyan and Huff? Yuk!
  15. a700hitter
    You'd rather Kotchman at 1B and Youk at 3rd?

    I hope this means the ink is wet on a contract with Beltre.

    Tony Massarotti doesn't think Theo is playing things close to the vest. He thinks that he is sending a message not to get your hopes up about 2010 and 2011. http://www.boston.com/sports/columnists/massarotti/2009/12/sox_have_been_here_said_that.html

    ...and if the Queen had balls she would be the King. One thing that I have learned following the game for more than 40 years is that when you have lots of "ifs" and you need most of those "ifs" to happen in order to be successful, you are in for a rough season.

    I am hoping the name of this thread changes to Casey Kelly will be a Blue Jay.
  21. a700hitter
    The Sox are interested in Crisp? http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/extras/thebuzz/ I could live with him coming back, but we already have a 4th OFer--- don't we?
  22. a700hitter
    Sheffield has suitors. http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/extras/extra_bases/2009/12/sheffield_has_s.html Hopefully, he will not be part of a righty/lefty platoon with Hermida.
  23. a700hitter
    I don't like any trade that doesn't improve the team, even if it is a blockbuster.
  24. a700hitter
    I don't like the Beltre possibility.
