I thought this was a made up quote as a joke. It’s real lol. He actually has the players using his “flush it” line now.

I just noticed the author of the article. Is that Bob’s relative? ?

And sadly, a tiger doesn’t change its stripes.

A good GM that went after big targets and an owner that was willing to spend money. We have Getz and JR. ?

That is. Another interesting tidbit that is sometimes forgotten about like that one is that Terry Francona started his coaching career in the Sox minor leagues. @Lip Man 1 has all the Sox trivia posts to learn from.

And the same ol’ owner, that truly makes the decisions.

“Here’s all the bad tier 3 free agents the Sox wasted their money on rather than reeling in a Harper or Machado and Wheeler…”

Please stop hiding these amazing threads with your admin powers. I’m sure I missed that thread titled, “String Which WestEddy Ruined by Being Smarter Than Us”. ?

Amazing how someone can’t see the forest for the trees.

Amazing how you b1tch and moan about people misrepresenting your past posts and then you come up with this pile of sh1t post that is a complete and utter lie. No one ever said those players would make the Sox competitive this season. People wanted to acquire guys like that solely to serve as flip candidates. Now why don’t you update us on the no shutout streak stat again? ?

Why is that a ridiculous notion? His offseason was as epically bad as the Sox now are. He is going to set a record with this team that should have been unattainable. A random fan off the street could have had a better offseason than Getz did.

Imagine defending a guy who failed to develop players in his previous role (the very purpose of his job) and whom one of the worst owners in two professional sports then promoted to the most important job with the team without even interviewing another candidate.

Dear god, I didn’t realize how accurate @hi8is’s post was. I thought it was a joke post but it was REAL!!! Amazing story-telling. And absolute CRINGE by Schriffen. Stone is sitting back there thinking, “who in the f*** hired this clown to work with me? That Benetti dork was bad enough as it is.”

I’ll pass on beavers with a side of mayo.

Target acquired. 14 consecutive loss record hit with ease. Now let’s see how low they can go. But what’s the non-shutout streak at? Anyone know? That’s an equally important statistic. Let’s try to track both in this thread…

I couldn’t read through your entire drunk post but I do remember thinking that the 2006 team was way better than the 2005 team and would easily make it to the playoffs. They ended up with a good record (90 wins?) but the division magically improved that year. They should have been a WC team at the very least but they missed out.

Maybe, but do you think they will win with Robert in the next 3 years, and whatever other players the Sox have in the farm and free agents that JR allows Getz to sign?

Epic fail on all fronts. The culture is sh1t, but I like how he used the word “eventually”. A nice subjective term to give him as much time as he needs to accomplish all of these goals that he failed at this season.

I salute you, good sir…

Even better when you don’t get shut out, even if you lose your 14th game in a row and set the franchise record. What’s the no shutout streak at now? I haven’t seen you post an update on it in awhile. Inquiring minds want to know. Very important stat for this season.

This is definitely a strategy Getz should be trying to employ. But he reports to a boss that cares more about the debits and credits T-charts than the scouting reports on players the Sox may be able to acquire if they ate some of the salaries of their own players. Just like with Hahn’s previous rebuild, it will likely only be the Sox dumping salary or salary neutral trades, which will limit the return that Getz can get. This is because, as your already know, the bottom line is more important to Reinsdorf than winning is (see his infamous quote about finishing in 2nd place in the division).

True, they will lose in the shorter term. But they simply don’t have enough positional talent and an owner that won’t pay for it. The hope would be that you could get back 3-4 positional starters if they all pan out. Do you think a lineup of Robert and jack s%*# will ever win anything?

No no no, go clean your glasses. He was awesome tonight! Shhhhhhhhhhh…

The Sox will only ever win with a bunch of young prospects that pan out, period. At least until JR is gone. He seethes with anger at the thought of these $500 million dollar player contracts.
