And in terms of crappiness of the fan base, it goes:
Pats
Sox
Anyone that has gone to BC
Celtics
Bruins
I think C's and B's fans aren't overly annoying. C's can be bandwagony and B's fans were endearingly miserable for decades.
They've won 2 more than I thought they would in my lifetime. I can't complain about a down season. The past 12 months have been a little exhausting though.
Now that payroll has been slashed, there should be more than enough to let him retire a Red Sox. I think ownership sees the value in having a David Ortiz day two years from now.
Great, so there should only be 5 unruly threads that anyone can post in, but will be horrible to follow. Imo, when hugely important things happen like this week, threads should be left alone for a few days, otherwise the conversations get stifled. I understand you're working hard at this, but maybe let things be a little more organic at times. I'd rather deal with a 3-4 page thread than have to get lost in a 30-40 page thread.
BoSox92, nice first post. You should stick around. Not sure that trade would bring back Felix, but the Sox definitely need to focus on finding a dominant #1.
Hey, I know this team played like s*** this year. Don't worry, we traded 3 All Stars away. We're good to go now. Buy us. Don't worry, we'll be a WS contender eventually.
No one is falling for that sales pitch.
I've figured it out.
The old farts on here just can't give a young 38 year old credit.
Unless you've got grey pubes, you can't run a baseball franchise apparently.
When it's bad, blame someone younger than you. When it's good, clearly someone your age made the decision.
