SockMe Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Last week someone posted a Predict the Roadtrip thread and I said 1-9, more as a joke but at the time I knew we sucked, and now that prediction is sadly unfolding before are eyes, what is that 3 walk offs now? 1 in each series? Thats pathetic, weak ass pen, weak ass lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SockMe Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 so pathetic, and I cant even watch the last game in the dome tomorrow (school). whatever it will probably be a loss so it doesn't make a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Let's review all our predictions and make a comment on how you felt now and then, please. * I went with 2-8. Not so confident it'll come true. At the time I felt the O's and Royals series were KILLERS and we'd get bludgeoned by the Yankees and BoSox and of course can't beat the Twinks. I thought we'd get one in Boston and one in Minnie and get swept by the revenge minded Yankees. I was hoping we'd show some fight and our bats would awaken ... but NOOOOOOOOO. When are we gonna start winning again? We got a whole month remaining. We could really have a bad record by the time this season is over.

MiddleCoastBias Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Hey remember when I said we would take 3, maybe sweep Boston? Because Boston was 'off' and their pitching was slacking? Well, looks like our face was the spring board they needed. Yeah, that prediction sucked. Maybe I should pay more attention to the doom-and-gloomers...

witesoxfan Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 2-8. Sox win handily tomorrow, 10-4 or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 (edited) I don't know if we're doom and gloomers. If we were going to some easier cities on a 10-game trip, I don't think I'd have gone with 2-8. I mean we were bad going into the journey, but kind of .500 scratch your head bad. Now we are dregs of baseball bad, fighting for third place. Edited September 2, 2009 by greg775 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunk23 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 My prediction that I didn't want coming true, and I even have this in writing, was that following MB's perfect game, we'd experience another 07, just like MB's no hitter.

Thats pathetic, weak ass pen, weak ass lineup. When you saw Tony Pena come in during the 9th inning to replace Thornton what did you think was going to happen. He was going to be awesome and shut em down. Another poster actually said it probably about a week ago, Pena has good stuff, but hes bad. The reason being he has no real command or control of the natural RUN on his pitches and it gets him in trouble. Is there any person on the planet that thought swapping Pena for Thornton in the 9th was going to result in something good?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderBolt Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 11:09 PM) I don't think that will be a problem anymore. Assuming the Astros win a couple more games then us, we'll have the 12th pick of the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexSoxFan#1 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I predicted since the beginning of the season that we would end up in 3rd behind Detroit and Minny with a 78-84 record Looks like we might even be worse than that! Jeez,wasn't it just a month ago that MB pitched a perfect game that put us in a tie for 1st heading to Detroit with a lot of "momentum"?Seems like ages ago...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I said 5-5 but I'd rather predict 5-5 and be wrong than predict 1-9 or 2-8 and be right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justBLAZE Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I said 6-4 and I'm currently drinking myself to sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I said 6-4 and was actually confident that would happen. I was thinking 5-5 at worst. I think the first loss in Boston pretty much set the tone for the road trip. It was a game we should have won and gave it away. The scary and frustrating part is that the Sox could finish the trip (including the game against the Shlubs) 2-9 or 3-8 and still be "in contention" because of the remainder of the schedule. So, I'll be forced to still watch the games AND be involved. I'd still watch the games if they were mathematically eliminated. But now I'll still have that minute ember of hope, and each loss will be that much more frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we are in contention, are the Indians as well? They are only four behind us? We have to catch 2 teams and we can't even win a damn game at this point. We got to play Cubs in their stinkhole, Boston 4 more games, then after Oakland, the Angels? We ain't in contention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
