  1. As a700 said, this collapse is epic, and as the journalist said on ESPN, maybe this is the biggest collapse and failure in american sports ever since the expectations and payroll.
  2. Hate to say, told u, the signs were there.
  3. Welcome to the club :harhar:
  4. Today we have TB on the left rear-view mirror and tomorrow on the right, the LAA. I don't see how this could end well. We are in a deep and long free falling, literally.
  5. Wow, the ship is falling into pieces.
  6. Well, I think that the recent QSs opaque this one.
  7. Convincing but at the same time shocking numbers. The GM is not responsible?... My ass.
  8. This^^. As I said, Hell is full of excuses and good intentions, Heaven? accountability. Hell, I'd like to manage an organization which waste those tons of money and then everyone comes around and tell me, "you are the best, you already gave us a couple of WS so, don't worry, everything is gonna be alright, besides, what else could you do? Keep going, nothing is gonna happen, maybe the next year you'll do better, meantime keep wasting money" Really? Do you ever listen at yourselves? Our pitching depth is a f***ing joke and one of the WROST in all baseball, and the GM doesn't take the accountability? Really? even with plenty access to the money? You must be kidding me, right? That doesn't happen around here, trust me, you get fired, as simple as that.
  9. Exactly, because somehow it hurts you.
  10. Agree 100% I wasn't sure what a pink hat was, now I know, here is called "Villamelon" I'm ok with showing optimism about the team, but another completely diferent thing is to be blinded. Seems like the Red Sox marketing and advertasing went very deep into some minds around here. After an horrid season like Lackey's, Crawford's, Wake's, etc. or defend a GM which has plenty made a lot of bad decisions and then excusing them and even celebrating singing Sweet Caroline (even I like ND ) doesn't make sense to me at all. Maybe I'm getting old but some around here always expect claps at every single play even if they play over and over and over again horrid baseball, and the excuses are often "s*** happens" or "look at his past numbers" or "we already won 2 WS" or "what else can he do?", I refuse to buy that crap.
  11. Somehow I feel identified with this post. Nice post SCM.
  12. Good luck or bad luck are not an excuse in order to deliver results at any level or size of organization, period.
  13. As I said, large corporations don't understand terms or concepts like names (Theo), time (2 WS) or luck (Garcia or Colon). They plan, execute, deliver results and adjust over and over and over again through loooooooong periods of time.
  14. When you have one of the biggest payrolls in the MLB, the only expectation is the WS, not less, and if you rush me, win it. Sure, his intentions were arguably good. But in the end, these are only good intentions, but you know what they say, the hell is full of good intentions. On the other hand, his business plan seems to be weak. You support good business plans with results, there's no other way to see it. It ain't over, we'll see.
  15. When you fail, and really want to turn the things around, you have to accept your failure, make the adjustments and perform again. Tito needs a course about that. He loves excuse his players.
  16. A journalist on ESPNDEPORTES just said that if The Boston Red Sox doesn't make the POs could represent one of the biggest failures ever in american sports according with all the expectations and payroll deployed. I'm not sure about this but seems so.
  17. Is this our pitching depth? Thanks Theo.
