Y So, it is the fans fault. Sure that's reasonable. Red Sox fans have shown their impatience by filling Fenway every game for baseball's highest priced tickets. The Cubs attendance has been down 12 percent under Theo. Red Sox attendance is holding steady. In fact, the 2014 last place team attendance was up from the 2013 Championship season.
How did the Cubs fans express their patience? Was there a town hall meeting with Cubs officials. How have the Red Sox fans been impatient? Did an angry mob form around Fenway and hang Ben in efigy? I don't remember seeing that either. So, how is this fan impatience manifesting itself and how is it to blame for really poor decisions like giving Porcello an $82 million contract while obtaining no top of the rotation pitchers, or giving $72 million to a guy that can't rise above AAA? You make big claims about backing up your opinions with stats and facts, but this is nonsense backed up by nothing. It is the most meaningless type of opinion - pure speculation.
