  1. If so, that’s understandable. Sort of a Bauer Factor…
  2. Like maybe 2022 bad?
  3. Ok, but what was your point?
  4. Now compare titles!!
  5. What’s your point? Do you think that ever wasn’t the goal? Are you saying we as fans should be dissatisfied if the team just makes the playoffs without winning the division? Like remember how frustrated we were in 2004? Are you saying that if the Sox have a shot at the postseason at the deadline, but no real shot at the division, they should sell? Or at the very least, do nothing? If so, you must have loved Bloom.
  6. You vastly underrate Clevinger and overrate Lugo…
  7. Yes let’s overreact. They were 78-84. It’s not good but it also isn’t 57-105…
  8. It’s not going to happen. Yamamoto isn’t going to go through the posting process and didn’t hire an agent so he could hook up with his friends…
  9. And the counter argument is always the same - but Texas beat Bama. And when you’re talking about a single-game elimination playoff format, you can’t downplay that. It puts you in a position where you’re arguing for and against the same thing. Beating more ranked teams just means “beat more teams someone thought we’re good.” How about evidence?
  10. Id tank him most likely to land in Boston. I think zero chance we sign Yamamoto. The Mets want him. And Henry cannot outspend Cohen, no matter how hard he tries. That leaves Snell, Montgomery, ERod, and Stroman. Pros and cons to each. But only one has a connection to Boston right now (and that connection could just as easily drive him away)…
  11. They had a shot each of the last two years until Bloom bailed at the deadline. That was the point being made. As much as they are not going to put together a perfect lineup full of 9 slugging contact hitters capable of winning both a Silver Slugger and. Gold Glove, it’s not going to happen. And the team can be competitive without doing do. They were in 2021. And they are in 2022 and 2023 until the CBO quit on the team…
  12. Alabama had their chance to make their case over Texas. They failed…
  13. 1. Opinion matters less than financial consideration. 2. Alabama has no case as to why they deserve to be over three undefeated teams and the team that beat them. Not a serious argument, although on the off-chance that the NCAA shuts the SEC out of the playoffs, I’m sure Saban will come up with some nonsensical one that will appeal to some people…
  14. No matter how big it gets, there will be a team on the fringes complaining. Four is fine, especially considering that these plsyers are theoretically college students and might have to attend class at some point…
  15. What does the “last place” count for, beyond realizing that a 78 win last place team obviously plays in a ridiculously tough division. If that team had gotten the deadline help they needed, which could have been done in one trade, they could have made the postseason, which was the point that was made…
  16. Winning the division has advantages over being a wild card, but there is no shame in being that wild card. I don’t think Texas objected to “just getting in” to the postseason this year, and it doesn’t cheapen their title…
  17. And won only 6 fewer games than the NL pennant winner…
  18. The biggest problem with college football is it has always been so political and, frankly, straight up corrupt. It should be Michigan, Washington, FSU and Texas. But it won’t be because there is just too much money to be made with SEC schools. Alabama lost to Texas. It’s absolutely a respectable loss, but it also is enough to put them on the outside looking in…
  19. You don’t? Despite that he just was one less than two months ago?
  20. Texas beat Bama, but there is a ZERO percent chance of leaving the SEC out of the playoff picture. If Texas and Bama both get in, Florida State, due to the egregious sun of using a backup QB, will be odd man out. Of course, the NCAA will never admit this is why, but let’s get real here…
  21. A typical day at the office? Isn’t that what every new GM/CBO is supposed to do?
  22. Maybe we need another looming lockout?
  23. Agreed. This isn’t the most egregious use of it, but the plan can’t be “just add two starting pitchers. Oh, and then sell off everything that isn’t nailed down.” I mean, at least I was not responding to one of those bizarre posts I see every now and then from other people that will comment about an 88-90 win team that the front office needs to “tear it all dodd we n and start over!”
  24. Well, I’m referring to 2 years and two off-seasons, both which moved appallingly slow…
