That makes zero sense in that VAZ has caught most of EO's games. So when EO has a good game, EO gets all the credit, but when EO stinks up the place, it's VAZ's fault. Yup, that make sense.
Like I posted earlier, Max, check the career stats of the 3 bums I listed. When the GM is dumpster diving for starters, the catcher shouldn't have to be Houdini.
If you feel that strongly about the badness of VAZ, maybe you should blame Cora for using him in so many games. You do know that the manager makes out the line-up?
JH didn't want to go over the salary cap and Bloom didn't want to trade 'top prospects.' So this is why the SOX didn't get what they needed to make a serious run to get to the WS.
Is it too early to chant "wait till next year?"
No complaints here, but it was almost a possibility. 4 championships in 16 years, while most MLB teams haven't even won 1. Again, I repeat, no complaints here.
In their 4 WS before 2004 and beginning in 1946, the SOX had a record of 12-16, losing all 4 in seven games. In the 4 WS since 2004 the Sox have a record of 16-3. And if it wasn't for Kinsler tripping over his own feet, the record would have been 16-2.
Actually, I would prefer a Honda Civic over a Mercedes. Much more reliable. And with the money you'd save, you could buy a very nice stereo system to play DIRTY WATER on.
