Lip Man, you are the man, but cutting Avi is a bit cruel. He put up some good numbers last year despite the BABIP frenzy on this board (not you). Lip Man you can't be serious bout Avi. Although if he continues to suck I will be disappointed. Yet if he hits .225 this year with 19 homers, he's definitely become Viciedo.

I don't think so. As stated many times, the pitching will guarantee 7 to 8 losses every 10 games no matter how well the bats start doing. Close games? Got no setup and no closer. And many non-close games cause of hacks who are starting. It is what it is: a 48 to 51-win team.

I'll buy that, El Rockin. And he had a beautiful game last game, but I do despise him overall as a player.

I will give the Sox the benefit of the doubt in one regard. Moncada and Avi are hurt. That truly makes our current lineup not even a good one for a AAA team. Moncada and Avi with Abreu should be able to do a little bit of damage in Wrigley Field. We'd still get swept but again, without those 2 we really blow instead of just blowing.

I wasn't a fan of acquiring him. He wasn't all that at the time we got him. Ditto Soria. My gawd. Somebody must be fired for that acquisition. The Shields acquisition as well. Certainly nobody on this board was happy about acquiring Big Game James at the time we got him.

True. Nobody on here is clamoring for Eloy to be brought up, just to get our minds off the crappy pitching staff we have.

YAY, we lose. I need to get in the spirit of the rebuild. Just how we planned it. One game closer to a great draft pick. On to game two and Mr. Shields. I'll give him credit for a fine performance his last outing, but I am not a Shields guy.

This is not in the true spirit of sports. Throwing away seasons on purpose is very sad and against the concept of sportsmanship. It's frankly a joke. You don't have to be THIS bad to rebuild.

Amen, brother.

Good post. I mean players don't deserve to get beaned their next at bat after celebrating just a little bit. It's a stupid concept. Some hitters celebrate a single or double pretty expressively. Who cares?

When Hawk gushes that the team never quits, they should expect days they get called out for quitting.

Very embarrassing. I wish somebody would get fired.

Fulmer must be sent down ... period. For his sake. Sign some independent league arms for grins.

I can only hope the media and fans mock this historically bad team all weekend. Embarrassing mismatch. If they are going to make Sox fans suffer, the front office should suffer as well.

It is simpiy disgraceful.

No I'm not. Read my post. I'm asking not pontificating.

He certainly does look like Paulie up there. However, it is weird that he only hits against KC.

You trust the remodelers. We don’t

A terrible manager? Really? WS resume

Why are so many people comfortable in telling greg what to do? I never said that.

What is bad about Moose? We need a 3B and Moose's bat n glove suffice for certain.

Then I hope he stays in the minors til a start or two in September.

Ozzie had no desire to stifle. He seemed to enjoy stirring the pot with his comments in the media. He discovered nobody is irreplaceable. No team in this day and age of PC cld afford to hire the man again.

It's hard to imagine a team with Eloy, Moncada, Anderson, JoseA, Avi and Davidson playing every day keep losing at a record clip. And with Kopech being an ace. Bt with this pitching staff and defense it's possible we wld keep losing.

To win a WS before we lose them to free agency. Hope one or two want to stay with a WS team and give a bargain. The timing to where they are not all free agents the same year and the Sox have plenty of talent arond to keep winning.
