  1. Let's face it. Sox have a superstar in Robert. It's insane how good he is. He is our Tatis. if they let him go, team should move. If you can't sign guys like him u have no business having a team.
  2. For some reason I expect a blowout loss tonight. Mabe cause Pedro looked dumb in yesterday's loss. And Oz's thing making twitter about how he'd be upset if team didn't fight back during games like this team.
  3. Pedro is so so bad a manager. I bet Coop is laughing on a nightly basis how bad the Sox have been since he was shown the door. Same with RR.
  4. I'm speechless. Elvis my gosh. Way to snuff out a rally. This team on the road is 14-27. .500 at home. This team is as bad as it gets outside of G-Rate Field.
  5. Interesting. Good things happen when you make contact.
  6. I feel sorry for Pedro. He's overmatched. Sad. At least he makes good bank. Burger has to be ready at all times. Zavala was looking over there for a bit. Still love me some Burger but cmon, watch your catcher.
  7. Star player of game: Ohtani. ??? of the game: Kopech. Over 100 pitches in four innings? Brutal. Toussaint deserves a croissant for serving up that HR ball to the one-armed man,
  8. What would it hurt. Just sign him for the rest of this wasted season. And quitting on his team midseason?? That's a bit fake newsish. He quit with what a week and a half to go? Anybody who watches the postgame show has to love the guy (if u can understand him; hard to pick out some words sometimes).
  9. Three hits. LOL. Sox are blah at home but oh so bad on the road. Fire the manager now. Please. Robert is emerging though. Certain all star stud.
  10. Robert turns 26 in August. It's pretty obvious he's not only got the tools but is swinging at more strikes. My point is this is the superstar u give the mega gonza contract to. And pray he stays healthy which mabe he's figuring out also. Hustling ground outs in chilly April tho is a recipe for disaster. I'm thinking we have bonafide superstar now in Robert; we got HR machines in Burger, Vaughn and Eloy if we can keep them healthy. I guess Sheets is a bust. But my point is the Sox have a few ellte players that a good manager could merge in with the stiffs and lead to greatness. Cmon Vaughn, Burger, Eloy, copy Robert and be more selective and BOOM! home runs in an awful division. Now pitching? We need a new pitching coach and new organizational philosophy on building staffs and bullpens. Cmon Sox. Ride the Robert wave to the division title.
  11. The Sox have three guys hitting a lot of HRs. I wonder the last team to have three guys hit over 35 hrs apiece finish under .500. I would think most managers would make something work with a core of 3 like that. And maybe four guys over 30 same question. Folks we have a bad manager. Nice series vs boston though. We'll take Ws.
  12. Burger, Vaughn and Robert have a lot of home runs. You'd think we might have a better record with some HR pop like that. That said, nice win over the Red Sox. Good stolen base and hit by Elvis to win it. Weird team. That said we'll take the W any ol day. Nice win.
  13. I feel I deserve credit cause I left Chicago many years ago and still am a diehard Sox fan and do not like the Cubs at all. It scares me how I've lost interest in baseball in that I can't name one Cub pitcher or one Cub hitter. Baseball has lost me except for the Sox. I am familiar with the Royals being they are here and i know what's up with them. i feel i deserve credit cause in living here now a million years I never became a Royals fan or Chiefs fan. I have friends who have moved to Arizona and Vegas and immediately became Dbacks fans and fans of that hockey team as well as the Knights. I have supported Chicago teams only. Still a Bears fan, Blackhawks and Bulls though admittedly I'm fair weather in those sports. So no, I can't follow the Cubs. It's not in my realm of possibility. Only Sox. However Sox are as much a trainwreck as I've ever seen, Last year's 500 seemed like a .350 team. This year's team is unlikeable and unacceptable. It's an insult.

    Looks like its a false alarm as the Wagner group has turned around and retreated. Wagner group realized it was a suicide mission if Putin still had the support of the military and police which he must have cause they have turned around. ... This was serious enough Putin reportedly was flown away as the Wagner group neared. Hope the CIA is not involved in any way. Our security does not seem assured these days. ... Anybody figure out if putin is in good shape to stay in power?
  15. I was despised on the board for arguing against every move during the tank job. I wanted to win every game during the tank years. I wanted to keep Sale and the others. Things have calmed down for me on the board because of Hahn there's not one player I truly care to defend, not one player I totally like, for the first time in my Sox fandom. You can trade any one of these players or get rid of any of the coaches/managers/front office and I won't mind a bit.

    Don't really understand the chaos in Russia right now. Seems one military group of Russians are marching toward the Kremlin. Putin according to reports is going to blow these 50,000 troops to smithereens as they are after him?? Can somebody explain? Reading news stories is so frustrating. They are never easy to understand the basics. This seems kind of serious. If some group is after Putin and he fears for his life, anything can happen with him and nukes IMO.
  17. Terrible tragedy. Sad and bizarre story. I feel for those who are gone. As far as myself you seriously couldnt pay me 250,000 to go down that deep in a small vessel and that's what they paid to go down yonder. Sad.
  18. Heard on the twitter highlight of the postgame show Ozzie and the other guy talking about no excitement in Sox dugout when Timmy got the run in. That's it. Final straw. Fire the manager and hire frickin Ozzie or AJP, somebody, anybody to kick some butt in the dugout/locker room. These guys get paid too much $$$, beer costs too much for the loyal fan, for them not to care!!! This is absurd. Sox have no will to win at all. Manager's fault. Does he even want to be manager?
  19. I was against all of it. But Hahn was a hero on this board and in Chicago. People were ecstatic about the tank job/rebuild. They loved seeing the losses pile up and the roster change. The sentiment was almost like this tank job was the only way to go and the Sox were gonna reap the benefits of the tank, getting better draft choices and those few blockbuster deals: Cease, Eloy superstars. Kopech, Gio and even Lopez lol. Hahn was beloved during the tank job; go back and look at the posts. Fraud.
  20. Sox are 12th in payroll. My guess is Sox will be about double that in the future 24?
  21. Agreed. This team is as bad as it looks on paper. Poorly constructed ballclub with lousy medical staff/trainers. Or at least it appears that way with guys getting hurt a lot.
  22. So the Sox had one little stretch this season they played OK. What an abysmal joke of a season. I wonder if LaRussa coulda had these stiffs play .500 for the season or if the team was destined to be worse than last year no matter what.
  23. This type of talk is disgusting to me as a fan. Playoffs? Cmon. This team reeks. We need a video of Mora yelling bout 'playoffs. Our fave team is seriously flawed. It's not a playoff team even in the Central. There's no way a person with a functioning brain can seriously entertain playoffs. Cmon.
  24. What is it about the Sox that brings out angry comments from managers and coaches (remember Coop?) and players once in a while. Our fans are mild compared to other fans of losing teams. A first-year manager is comfortable enough to say that about bring it to Jerry if u don't like it? That's pretty screwed up. Pedro isn't exactly Tom Lasorda. Jerry should axe him and promote Ozzie. Why not? The media has changed, They're not going to have anybody blast Oz for his former comments. It's Oz time whether some of u like/realize it or not. Pedro's comment does nothing to make anybody think he's capable.
  25. You rooting for high draft pick? That's an exercise in futility often, specially with Sox scouts. They'll take a stud pitcher who'll get hurt like they all do. Or a Burger-esque hitter. love me some Burger but his average is down to .230 and his penchant for swinging too much annoys.
