QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 11, 2016 -> 08:01 PM) Except there is worse, as one fired a GM to keep his manager happy. Not in my eyes. That's your opinion hell people saying Hillary would be a great president does not make it true.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 11, 2016 -> 07:58 PM) No, that isn't what you said. You said no owner is worse. Him being "too loyal" is something different than what you said. I said no owner is worse playing the loyalty card than JR and Ventura and Williams still being around prove it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 11, 2016 -> 07:51 PM) If you are actually paying attention to the rest of the sports world? Yes, yes it does. Hell Anaheims owner just fired their GM because their manager didn't like him. How is that for loyalty? I am talking about JR on his loyalty, I say he's too loyal, you say he's not. Don't care about any other MLB team ownership structure.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 11, 2016 -> 07:42 PM) People can believe whatever they want. Hell "people" believe Donald Trump would be a good president. That doesn't make it true. Doesn't mean it's false either

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 11, 2016 -> 07:38 PM) If you honestly believe that, there is one more blind person here... A ton of fans believe that, sorry you don't, Ventura would of never lasted 5 years as manager with any other owner but JR.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 11, 2016 -> 07:18 PM) You laugh now, but all you have to do is look around professional sports to know that there are much worse ownership groups worse than the one we have. It hard to see past your hatred, but it is true. No owner is worse playing the blind loyalty card. A change is much needed.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Aug 11, 2016 -> 03:34 PM) Cuban would be an ideal owner, he's tried to buy a MLB team a couple times. Yes and league owners said they would NEVER approve him.

Hearing Orton to Raw in trade for Owens and Cesaro may be in the works.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 11, 2016 -> 02:59 PM) WSD just tweeted that Bernstein is saying that the sox ownership is pursuing a sale of the team? If true I am thrilled

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Aug 10, 2016 -> 04:50 PM) I don't know if it's politically motivated or not, but some nut is currently climbing up the Trump Tower. Police yanked him in the window like a rag doll.

No reason he should be brought up in 2016.

QUOTE (captain54 @ Aug 7, 2016 -> 08:32 PM) A silly argument. Really Look back at how baseball was structured between 1951-1967, during the 16 yr streak of winning seasons by the Sox. No divisional playoffs, no wild card. You either had the best record in the AL or NL, or you went home. The other question would be, with this current stellar ownership, winners of 1 championship in 36 tries, how is it they for the life of them, can't figure out how to get to the playoffs but once, in 11 yrs.? Not to mention the NY Yankees juggernaut played in 12 World Series from 51-67.

HOF game cancelled unsafe field..............not a good start to NFL season

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Aug 7, 2016 -> 06:52 PM) I won't name names, but this is also a problem with certain posters who throw out remarks like "if you don't like the team why are you or a fan" or just "stop watching" when those of us are critical of the entire organization. Yep you are supposed to bow at the JR shrine , no matter how far his loyalty to ex players runs the team into the ground and like it. Hell with that, I was a Sox fan before he owned the team and will be long after he is gone.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 7, 2016 -> 02:44 PM) At least we have a ballpark ranked 29th out of 30 in this week's Yahoo story. (I do realize most people on Soxtalk and Sox fans overall do like the Cell, just sayin). You can thank JR and the extra row of suites he had to have to make upper deck so bad, when builders told him not a good idea at the time.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Aug 7, 2016 -> 02:33 PM) Not a bad crowd out there today. Too bad today's performance is unlikely to entice many back anytime soon. Sox play like s*** on weekend home games for the last 5 years especially when crowd is bigger, a lot of those fans are not coming back and I do not blame them.

Sox scouting department may be the worst in MLB, they continually suck year after year. When they said Avi was a 5 tool player that was enough for me.

Another weekend home game clunker

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 7, 2016 -> 10:18 AM) Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter 4h4 hours ago Worst news this time of year: Bears' C Hroniss Grasu tore his right ACL and will need surgery, according to @Suntimes. Bears really thin a Center now tough break on a crappy Soldier Field.

Sox win nice to see a Saturday night win for once at home.

Sox 4-2 Eaton HR

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 6, 2016 -> 08:43 PM) Those two strikeouts were very very bad. Put the ball in play. Tyler has some real crappy at bats

1 run again............just terrible

Sox 3-2

Ball looked fair
