That has yet to be seen. The lack of attendance was more due to diehards haring the direction of the team. The late arrival fans are happy with just going to Fenway to drink and sing Sweet Caroline (basically a Cubs fan) and don't care if they win or lose.
If bandwagon fans left after bad seasons, they would have disappeared after that boring 2010 season.
Meh, those guys aren't bring the ratings they once did. What if we try catfishing Bobby V? The fans would go crazy for that. Can you impersonate a female over the phone?
You and Farrell have done a great job so far. I'll take you to Rem Dawg's on Friday for lunch. Just don't mention that JH still thinks Bard should be in the rotation!
SFF, as the resident Rubby #1 fan, what is his injury status? Wasn't he hurt last year? Will he be ready to go in April?
Personally, I'd love nothing more than to infuse the rotation with youth.
If they are one game out of the WC at the end of the year (like in 2011), I'd consider it a win.
If they win 90 games after last year's abortion, no one here should have a reason to complain.
Lester and Buchholz should be better. I'm doubtful that Dempster will work out. I think Lackey will still be garbage. I'm worried that the increase in innings for Doubront will harm him this year.
No no no... He seems to be the only scrub we can get to show up to all our offseason events.
Time to initiate executive order 66 on Lackey. Now that Urbina is out, send him the secret code.
I wish I had your SP optimism SFF. If they have a good ST, I'll feel a little bit better about this rotation. Right now it just doesn't seem to be an improvement over the past 6 years.
Idk, research says he may be too ethnic for the ladies living in Boston. Maybe have Kalish do some one arm pushups near famous Boston landmarks with Nava, Ross and some other schlep.
What kind of shoes is that Hawaiian guy wearing these days?
