Reminds me of the old East German joke about its Trabant cars. A man pulls into a gas station, and the attendant asks what he needs. the man says, “can I get a full talk of petrol and a new set of wipers for my Trabant here?” The attendant replies, “let me think about it - seems like a pretty good deal….”

Or worse - glitter.

...and a new catchphrase was born

Knowing this team they would somehow turn it into a hot dog

Yep... 2 words: Player Development

I said wrong answers only.

“The 2023 team really was built to perform more consistently than last year’s squad.”

Wrong answers only.

Gotta keep it close and dramatic for maximum heartbreak.

Figures.

Already have tickets. My dad told his ticket rep of our plans... and the guy at least understood. Yeah, but at least it's not like the A's will behave any differently. Hell - they could sell out every game, and they probably won't change what they're doing.

Our family is literally flying to Oakland to see the Sox (and see family out there) rather than giving money to the Sox this year.

My guess? He'd go on a rant about not being able to tell long stories about Yaz because of the pitch clock and how it's ruining the game.

So does this make you pro-Yoan or anti-Yoan? You have to pick. It's the rule.

Sign Didi Gregorius to play SS when TA goes under the knife. Contract is a minor league contract with a big league option for $3MM with an automatic player option for $5MM.

I know. I tried going for realistic here....

Trade Eloy to the Astros in return for Jose Abreu for his "veteran leadership."

He may not be stupid, but if he's so insulated that he's not getting the right information, he'll make stupid decisions.

Once Moncada returns, trade Burger for a low-minors 1B / DH prospect (in Rookie League) and a struggling aging middle reliever with 1 year and $4MM left on his contract.

Sign Madison Bumgarner

I hate to say it, but what if July 25 and July 26 the entire crowd acts like it's a Cubs home game? Or any other game with significant attendance, all Sox fans cheer for the other team... on national TV?

Personally i feel like this team is going to ruin it with a win… like they can’t even suck in a notable way.

That glue made for some incredible huffin'.

Can't quit if you never started.

3-game sweep, losing by a combined score of 20-2. I almost look forward to seeing what the low point of the season is.
