  1. 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.
  2. 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?
  4. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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?
  8. 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.
  9. Sox are 12th in payroll. My guess is Sox will be about double that in the future 24?
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. Man, four hits won't cut it. So inept. Let's face it, we have a great highlight film ready to be made of Vaughn homers, Robert, Eloy, BurgerKing,, but they hit them so infrequently. ... Let's face it. They all once in a long while tee off on the baseball. But their consistency is nada. If those four get consistent someday, look out. Not sure if they are valuable prospects or not, but again Vaughn's homer tonight was majestic. Other than that, crud. What's with the starting pitcher going 4? Was he dogbleep? Pitch count was still under 90. Our starters by the way throw way too many pitches. Another trouble spot. We do stink. Unloveable bad team.
  16. No offense to baseball, but do any of you think the sport is soon to be extinct because of injuries? We've got zillions of players nobody's ever heard of just filling in for injuries players. So please answer, is baseball on the road to extinction? Other points to consider. ... -- Games are faster now which is good. -- No pitchers in this new modern era will ever make the Hall again. Too many injuries will keep the K totals out of Hall range, Nobody cares about W/L anymore or ERA, so there are virtually no more Hall of Fame candidates toeing the slab. -- No stolen base intrigue any more. Only Hall of Fame stat of interest will be HR hitters but careers are starting to die in early 30s so no longevity means no Hall of Fame. Without heroes ... is baseball dying? When will it officially be dead or at least irrlelevant? Peace out. All the Sox seemingly do is get hurt.
  17. Happy with the win and Eloy and Elvis. 32-43 is a ridiculously bad record; work on it Sox.
  18. AV looks like he has no fun playing baseball. Relax AV and show some of your natural talent. Another semi bust.
  19. Poor Remy. One good game he'll always remember.
  20. Sox stink, So they had the 10-game losing streak. This current stretch is also putrid. So Sox officially are dead. Two miserable losing stretches before July. Wow.
  21. Geez. Who made this Grifol guy Mr. Defensive. He hasn't earned that right. So far he's failed in all aspects of the game with the help of Hahn. Hitting: Sox reek. No desire to do anything but K or HR. Defense: LOL. Starting pitching: C. Relief: F. Leadership: Hard to quantify. Seems like a log on the bench. Give me RR or Ozzie please.
  22. Lopez's time is up in chicago. Get rid of him, please. Or make him a three batter guy. Isn't the new rule you have to face 3 batters if you come in? Don't be tempted to go longer. Three batters and out and throw almost all fastballs up high. He is a horrific pitcher, folks.
  23. Well, this was another bad loss. Thanx Lance for going 7. Reminded me of the good ol days of baseball. Remy goes 0-for-4. Yuk. Six hits won't do it. I wish Ozzie was the manager. At least he'd kick some bleep. As long as he wouldn't say outrageious POLITICAL stuff and keep it on the field he'd be awesome in 2023. But noooo he quit on the team so we can't ever hire him again. Well lemme tell u something pls. Pedro is ridiculously bad and Oz would be better. He just would. Even AJP would be much better. Get rid of this guy please. Let him be a scout and keep his MLB skipper salary but bye bye Pedro. hi Ozzeroo.
  24. Lopez is one hot mess on the mound. He's so bad I'm speechless.
  25. Devil's advocate would say that's wrong. Remillard did all the things the Sox regulars do not do and that's why we won. Possibility at least. It's like he came up and said, 'Bleep you guys I'll show you how to advance runners, bring them in and play winning baseball.'''
