JH apparently was.
-
I wouldn’t go that far to call Bloom an idiot. He was just in way over his head. Big difference between sitting in the nerd room in Tampa, and being the front man in Boston.
-
Bloom proved he wasn’t one of them who could do both.
-
I just can’t see Bloom being hired at all.
-
Maybe not, but a better 2021, 2022, and 2023 teams yes.
-
Some just like to dream about the future instead of playing in the present. To me watching a bad losing team who played bad D from day 1, who were bad on the bases, and used openers after openers like the just completed season was worse than watching the 1966 Red Sox. It doesn’t help to me that 2018 wasn’t that long ago when the Red Sox last won a championship. It didn’t take away the 2020, 2022, and 2023 seasons who some saw a mirage especially the last two years, and actually thought the Red Sox had a chance to make the PS.
-
Ah the future looking bright, and not the here, and now is one of the reasons that Bloom got fired. The future isn’t always as cracked up as it seems to be, and neither does the foundation. Like Cora said it doesn’t matter what the farm ranking is when you are sitting in last place with a losing record.

The 2022, and 2023 teams were just mirages to me that some saw like beating up on the Jays, and Yankees earlier last season as the team being that good. Once the mirages went away the Red Sox went away. Bad D, opener after opener, and the lumber going into a slumber were not mirages, and the real Red Sox finished where they should have.
-
1 last place finish to me is unacceptable no matter how many titles are won.
-
No, but some try very hard, and say others are wrong, or is it just my imagination?
-
If, if, if.
-
Now that would have been a real punishment.
-
I think everyone knows this, and is not in dispute, but it doesn’t change anyone’s opinion.
-
Your right those two teams especially the 67 team was my favorite, because I was younger, and to me when your younger they seem to be bigger in aura than when you get older. Plus in 67 too they wasn’t on TV that often, and you had to tune into the old AM radio.
-
Nobody said please stop winning titles.🙈

I’ve always said the 1967 team was my favorite team, and 1975 is next, and neither team won a WS. I was was never in the crowd that wished for a WS Championship before I die. Once again everyone sees things differently. Yes it’s been great to win 4 championships, but it was also great to watch teams of yesteryear especially the homegrown ones that had some great talent on it. The 1975 team knocked off the three time defending champs A’s, and took the Big Red Machine to the last inning of the 7th game without Rice. Both of the Reds, and A’s were the best teams of their time, and that was exciting to me, so once again everyone sees things differently, and that’s why there is, and should be different opinions. Last place should never be accepted no matter how many titles you win.

Talk about over analyzing everything thing. That wasn’t what he was saying at all. Of course you see things that aren’t there, and go off on it.
-
Not probably unlikely, but it’s far from a sure thing that he’ll be as good as all the hype either, and either way it will be a big risk with all the money that will be involved.
-
Once again any system that is decided in a room, and not on the field is a flawed system. Two teams are better than none, and 4 teams are better than 2 teams, but still a very flawed system.
-
Improving the SP, and the D will only make the Red Sox better.
-
1 Mich 2. Wash 3. TX 4. Ala Fla St. 13-0 is out.
-
I think Texas gets #4 over Bama.
-
Bama should not get in over Texas that beat Bama, because like I keep saying all of this should be decided on the field, and not in a room. If it comes down to Bama, and Texas then Texas beat Bama at Bama at that.
-
This is what I mean that with Alabama’s win people in a room with decide who gets in with all these 1 loss teams. If either Mich, or Fla St. lose tonight it will be an even bigger cluster f—-. There has to be a better way where EVERYTHING gets decided on the field.
-
I’m talking about these conference championship games that not everyone is playing like Ohio State. ND would not be playing in one either.
