Good article. Wouldn't it be funny if in such a team meeting, somebody brought up the tanking issue? The players are kind of pawns in this tanking thing. Guys like Abreu want to win, yet the environment is one of wink, wink, keep on losing. It's all part of the plan, guys.

Even as a diminishing asset he's better than 80 percent of all hitters. This age-thing in baseball truly drives me crazy. If you were honest with me, wrath, would u admit you consider all players Jose's age diminishing assets? Please be honest.

Yes this is another indefensible action by a Hollywood figure. No sane person could defend her IMO.

Did he really say anything that resembles this? Chelsea has every right to be very upset and until this I was no Chelsea supporter.

You could be right. I can't really think of any issue he's been praised. To the media's credit, I guess, they were skeptical about NK and sure nuff the meetings got canceled. Even I was not ready to jump on that bandwagon. I don't trust NK and Trump, IMO at least, is a mean chump.

Maybe you are right. I don't like the Sox tendency of being just what the doctor ordered to help turn seasons around. Sox come to town? Boom. Struggling team is good again.

That's sad. Some of my positions are wild, but except for mentioning long ago that I thought Tim would be a great catcher, I've never brought it up again. Do I respond when peeps mock me and bring it up? Sure. It's not like I am posting it all the time. I respond to attacks and mockery of old posts of mine, sure I do. As far as the above sentence. Look ... if you want a board where 95 percent of the posts are praising the rebuild and happy about losing (cept for the game threads, I respect fans for getting mad at the Sox on there) then get rid of me and my ilk. I try to be a good fan. I'm telling you I want us to be good. I don't quite understand how Lopez getting shelled again can be shrugged off. Or proclaiming our bullpen good for gawd sakes. I have violent opinions but I love the Sox! Caulfield can attest to that or Fathom. They know I am normal, just passionate. I may be the polar opposite of El Rockin. But life is not all sunshine. There are Chicago hailstorms to consider.

I can buy these arguments. Post more often. As far as the person who asked how he looks like a catcher. You don't think he looks like Sandy Alomar back there or Manny Sanguillen? I realize he's not gonna be a catcher. I just said his production numbers will be more apt a catcher than a SS IMO. Also, frankly? He's not a very good SS.

Cause Cleveland was awful before the sox came to town.

People say I don't give examples now you don't like my examples. WTH?

They are not earning their $$$ that is for sure. Lapses of concentration and QUITTING. I worship Hawk but he should be ashamed of himself by inventing These Guys Don't Quit bullshit. I want concentration! And improvement.

I hope you are right, yesterday333. Post more often. I get tired of hearing greg talk (write on here) sometimes.

He's 6-foot-1 and lean. Manny Sanguillen was 6-foot and lean. Sandy Alomar was 6-5 and lean. Sal Perez is 6-3 but beefy. The average major league catcher in 2011 stood 6-foot-0 1/2. Need I go on? JC Martin of the Sox was 6-2 and lean. I'm not just pulling stuff out of my behind, folks. Greg is a baseball aficionado (at times). Why can't you except the profile of TA as a possible catcher?

They need somebody to tell them they are still very well paid (in terms of the rest of society) and this rebuild isn't going to work if guys do not pretend we are a contender and actually play hard and concentrate every day. This team contrary to popular opinion quits A LOT when the going gets tough, the starting pitchers aren't listening to Coop obviously, the fielders and hitters and baserunners have MANY mental lapses. WAKE UP BOYS. You won't be progressing if you continue to not earn your paychecks by giving full concentration and focus daily.

True. I despise Trump cause I think evidence is clear he's a selfish narcissist but the media attacks on him daily are hilarious. Like I said the other day I checked CNN on holiday weekend and the top 3 stories were all blasts of Trump and the local rag had a national column saying Trump has ruined holidays and morals of US citizens. They ain't praising Trump.

If you held this discussion with baseball people they'd laugh us out of the room. The Sox have no pitchers on the current roster worth a flip via trade right now. Yes I include Lopez and Gio. And Nate.

His numbers project to be an all star catcher. He looks like a catcher. We'd finally have a decent hitting catcher who can throw.

First sub 50 win team in Sox history? 48-49 wins max.

The draft is one, big lol crapshoot.

So you are telling me we are going through all this losing to get a reward of a 5-foot-7 shortstop? Yes draftniks (not you, Jose) tell me again why losing is so beneficial when we are gonna take a ? mark in a 5-7 baseball player?

I've been thinking more about Barr and greg is close to going on a rant. Who the hell do these actors think they are??? How in the hell can anybody tweet that crap who has a No. 1 hit show? Is she insane? What she is is entitled celebrity. I mean my gosh, she deserves all the scorn she's getting. The only excuse for this is she thinks she's so powerful she can issue some racist rants on Twitter and simply say she's a comedian. I mean comedy is fine, but she thinks she is above everybody else to think she was gonna get away with those tweets. Improper Barr, improper!!!

Yes. Rock I generally love your posts but how offensive can you be? See nobody cares if they offend Christians or believers might be the better word. We are just Christians, believers. We believe in God who is the magic man in the sky. He doesn't exist. Nobody with a brain would think he exists. Well ... a lot of people think He exists in the form of the Trinity. By the way I noticed some publications don't capitalize God anymore. It's cause they scoff and refuse to acknowledge the possibility of God. How do you know there's no God? Are you the one person with proof? Joy said the Veep had mental illness cause he heard voices. Hmmmm ... fireable offense considering a lot of people believe in God? No, cause nobody cares if they offend us believers. Shame on Rock for purposely offending greg here. p.s. If I tell you God has spoken to me would u all want me committed? Would you want me jailed? Hidden from your family members? I will not confirm this has happened on this board but answer the question please.

I fully expect him to get dealt. Hahn wants more top prospects for the popular rebuild. Keep the momentum going as far as bringing in young newbie talent.

I still say all this losing can affect stud hitters with talent. Cause "what does it matter?" Rate Moncada when we get good, folks. You guys who want to lose have to accept the fact pathetic losing can affect certain hitters different ways.

Hmm we have 16 wins after two months keeping my sub-50 win season right on pace. Worst team I've ever seen is this one. And yes, we've been just what the doctor ordered AGAIN for the Indians. Excuse time: Injuries, Lopez needs time, be patient, etc. Maybe Hawk can tell us Ricky's boys don't quit. (Cue the excuses).
