He's very aware of that fact. Chris Sale was his favorite player. Now he doesn't have one. Maybe someday. That's a bummer, but most of us grew up watching really shitty Sox teams. Thankfully my generation had Frank and a couple decent runs, but we also had the Strike and the White Flag Trade. Being a Sox fan ain't a lot of fun if you only care about winning.

I am envious of that life. You made this joke and don't see the irony of you screaming on the internet for someone else to spend their money for your entertainment? Now that is rich.

I believe that applies to almost every franchise in almost every sport. I love being at a baseball game. High school, college, independent league, minor league, or major. Sometimes its really fun to not have a dog in the fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorStSox Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 The worst part is that people are so butthurt about Machado that they're invading other threads calling Burger a fat ass, talking shit about Robert and throwing a fit about Eloy being extended. It would he fine if the b****fest was contained in the Machado thread, but don't throw other players under the bus. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a fair complaint and I personally will try to limit any future whining unless actually relevant. I just don’t appreciate anyone making accusations of how easy or hard my life has been when they literally know jack shit about me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I for one find it curious that this org couldn't find a way to make a highly-productive player like Machado work into their salary structure, but on the other hand, they're willing to take a chance on an unproven one like Jimenez. To me, it strikes me as a curious approach to risk management. In totality, it makes them look incompetent and reactionary. Carry on, then.

Whiffing on Machado was a joke but Burger does look too heavy regardless. Also, I think the Eloy extension was a good move. I also don’t think it should be any surprise that people are still upset about whiffing on Machado. After showing interest in Machado for a year and guaranteeing the fans that “the money will be available,” Hahn spent $50 million on mediocre players this offseason and failed to sign Machado for exactly $50 million dollars. I mean, that’s just priceless. Edited March 26, 2019 by Harper2Sox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
