joejoesox Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Oh Bobby, how far you've fallen Pitching staff cannot record outs against sub-par hitters This team is a joke, period. Better luck in 2010, because we're not contending in 2009 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aboz56 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Considering we were expected to finish fourth in the division, I would hardly call the season a failure. Now these past three games were definitely a failure and that's putting it nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joejoesox Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 We were up 6-1 in this game, LOL f***ing failures, these players are, there's no way you can defend anything in this game or about this team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Its bad, the Twins squeak out wins on concrete, the umps give them runs and we all of a sudden cant pitch at all. With a healthy Crede and Quentin, we run away with this division. At least my playoff payment goes towards my tickets next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlosMartinez Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 God I want to puke. We lead the division for 3/4 of the year to puss out at the end like this?? Maybe it's better to not make the playoffs because these past 3 days have been the hardest 3 games of baseball to watch in some time.

CarlosMartinez Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 The season has had some real bright spots but over the course of the year we've had some glaring weaknesses, and they were exploited real bad in these 3 games. Had there been more just a bit more consistency with the bats or not have the bullpen suck balls for 2 months, the division is signed and sealed weeks ago.

aboz56 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 25, 2008 -> 10:32 PM) The season is a failure if you don't win the World Series. It just is. However, there was a ton of productive things to emerge this season. I know idiots are going to say to say the whole team needs to be blown up, rebuilt, whatever, but if the Sox win 2 games up here, none of that is said. You are really basing a 5+ year plan around 2 lost games? It's dumb. There are major holes on the team. They need to be addressed. I trust Williams to get it done. Couldn't agree with you more. The whole Quentin injury pretty much derailed the season. With him healthy for the month of September, I think the Sox win the division by 5+ games. Need to get a better mix of guys on the club who don't totally rely on the home run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonkeyKongerko Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Quentin and Alexei were hardly a thought in March and April. Kenny got lucky twice and it will probably save his job. Just really hard right now to see us changing much in a single offseason. Konerko and Thome can't both stay imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 26, 2008 -> 03:43 AM) The Sox lost there hitting and pitching MVP for large chunks of the season this year. Being a 72-90 team last season, if this squad was going to compete(which it did) it was going to be a thin club, which it is. It would be hard for any team to recover from those losses, but it's devastating for a thin team like the Sox. The core of this team is still strong. It's older, but not old. The team needs more balance around our power core. It's a pretty simple concept. Again, I trust Williams can get the job done. Not to sound like SSI, but I think it's time for Walker to go.

fathom Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 26, 2008 -> 04:50 AM) I really have a hard time blaming the coaching staff. I am really torn as a Sox fan right now. I really am impressed with what Williams did this off-season after a terrible year, but at the same time, the team is one of the most one dimensional teams I have ever seen watching baseball. Walker coaches these guys to not only play to their strengths, but to the ballparks strength. It just so happens most of the lineups strength is built around an all or nothing approach. As I have said, the Sox need some different style hitters to mold around the power. We've seen the offense just fall off the table in 4 straight seasons now after the ASB. Let's go get Roberts and Figgins this offseason, and take it from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoAlexei! Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 To be perfectly honest I would prefer to be out of it all season than to go out this pathetic way. To be blunt firings must occur.

Now these past three games were definitely a failure and that's putting it nicely. So choking the away the division because some nitwit ESPN writers thought we would be bad is a worthy second place prize? Don't think so. What does that say about the GM and management if their $100+ million is expected to finish 4th? I'd be willing to excuse the Sox for 2007 if they did something this year, but it's not looking good.

You can say "oh f*** injuries" all you want, but no team is going to be the same when you lose an MVP, both all-stars, a starter, and 2/3 of the solid bulpen staff. Injuries like those are not excuses, they are explanations IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
