amazing how the Dodgers can afford our stupid contracts AND all the high-priced superstars on their roster but Henry acts like he's down to his last million.
-
the spending is just part of it. making better decisions is a bigger part, IMHO. the roster construction, and many of their signings have just been awful since DD was fired (not saying DD didn't make some bad decisions too).
-
this is recent history. i was stating that drawing new fans is important and the best way to do that is by winning. people don't want to be associated with losers. the Red Sox finish last enough and all us old guys die off, they won't be able to draw flies.
-
bold part is very true. but also, the cuts are much deeper than the increases. the spending TREND is going down.
-
yep.
-
nope.
-
yep.
-
LOL....i guess that's one way to look at it. "we're a s***** team and we're losing fans but we have more fans than Tampa."
-
ya' know...maybe not now, but losing teams don't draw new fans like winning teams do. and like it or not, thanks to a ******** f***ing owner, the Red Sox popularity is slowly fading away. people want to root for winning teams -teams like NY, LA, PHILLY, ATL and Baltimore. they are gaining new fans. not a loser like John Henry's Sox.
-
and right where Henry wants to be ....just ahead of Tampa. before long his attendance numbers will be right there with Tampa.
-
i think you're being optimistic. i hope i'm very wrong, but i stand my prediction of 72-90 and last place again.
-
if you think Brez is the only one in that office making decisions....LOL. he gets input from dozens of people. it's these people, that need to be canned. the same ones that recommended we sign Yoshi, Gruesome, Kluber, Paxton, Bearclaw, Joely, Jacques, Story, JBJ trade, etc etc adf***ingnauseum.
-
i'm very happy with Bailey, fine with Cora and it's still early on Brez. it's the rest of the decision makers in the front office that i wouldn't miss if they were fired today.
-
they're not going to give him a shot. the idiots in the Sox FO are going to keep throwing the same s*** at the same wall hoping for a different outcome. i'd fire the whole f***ing lot of them.
-
they are.
-
what you, Moon and Bell said makes so much sense that it makes me wonder what the hell is going on in the Sox front office. in fact, i've wondered what the hell is going on there the last 4 1/2 years.
-
yep, exactly.
-
yep, exactly.
-
the real problem here is "the ever-shrinking Boston budget", which is ridiculous for a team like Boston. i've said it before and i'll say it again...f*** JH and his giant FSG ego.
-
i think he works for JH. he claimed the JBJ trade was a "head-scratcher", when the fact is, it was a "f***ing disaster".
-
it's been cheapskate ******** since they fired DD. f*** Henry.
-
yep...and who gives a s*** if we have 6 years of control of Grissom if he can't f***ing hit?

exactly. Duran and Devers are the only players on this team worth keeping. the rest are just whatever. -

******** call by the chump. benny didn't get in his way. -
yeah...DD, the same genius that won 3 straight ALE titles and the 2018 WS. this team -low ERA and all- wouldn't even make the playoffs if the season ended today. nice try with your DD bashing though.
