Still can't figure it out!
As we all know, that for many years ESPN has had no love for The Sox.
Last year on MLBN's 30 clubs in 30 days they had us next to last on the schedule.
This year On MLBN ,when they were going through who they thought were the top 10 best teams this year, Rod Allen picked The Sox as #8 and Harold Reynolds laughed his head off and said that he was surprised that they were on the list at all!
When Reynolds was asked about the depth of The Sox rotation, he ducked the question and reverted the question over to Oakland and yacked up a storm about them.
Even Mitch Williams. Reverts questions off of The Sox, and straight onto Detroit and how good they are.
Yesterday, they talked about major key players that were injured last year that can make major impacts on teams if they are healthy. Santana, Morales, Nathan, and a few others were mentioned. How the heck can Peavy's name not even be mentioned let alone not be thrown into the conversation?
This year on the TV broadcst schedule, (Except for one spring training game) ESPN has NO GAMES scheduled for The Sox this year.
I know that we are all Sox fans and have some great hopes this year, but why don't major networks see us as a legitimate threat?
I mean....C'mon already! Look at our line up and rotaion and pen! Maybe it's not tops in the majors, but sheesh......I don't thnk that we should be looked upon as a pile of rags that aren't worth the time of day for discussion on contending and being a threat!
