  1. Yet, you still found time to post 33 times a day during the year. Your interest couldn't have been that low.
  2. There's no difference between 120 losses and 100 losses. Sucking is sucking. The Sox aren't relevant enough to be a "national laughing stock." Nobody cares. We're also going to be really bad next year. It's going to take a long time to dig out of this hole. When the entire team is made up of highly touted prospects and Lance Lynn, and all but 3 fail, you don't have any assets and you can't jumpstart a rebuild. Getz has done a reasonable job taking a handful of players with some value and turning them into one of the better farms in baseball. Hopefully we see some progress from it. You can spend all your time crying about it or hope for the best. Baseball is fun when you're good and funny when you're terrible.
  3. That was all standard GM speak that every single GM in every single sport says. Of course he knew we were going to suck. He's been getting rid of every single asset possible and replacing them with replacement level players, at best. This is a teardown and rebuild situation.
  4. Who has said he's done a great job? Who's getting piled on? SS2K and West Eddy just have the exact same conversation every single day and nobody wins. It just plays out like Grumpy Old Men.
  5. I don't think anybody has blind faith in Getz. The reality is that he's the GM and nothing is going to change that. Some of us would rather support him and hope he does well rather than spend all our time being negative.
  6. This is really, really dramatic. Free agents don't sign with the Sox anyway, and if no other city wants the franchise, that's a good thing. In reality, the Sox could lose 140 games next year and still be more attractive than at least 10 other franchises in baseball.
  7. Thankfully, literally nobody said any of those things.
  8. Destroying their credibility? What does that even mean?
  9. And he identified this as a hole and revamped the system. People learn. They grow.
  10. MLB regulars. You know I don't play the stupid anti-White Sox clique thing on this board.
  11. I still like Gonzalez. He's still only 22. It's too early to call him a bust. I would bet a large sum that at least 2 of those IF's between 15 and 19 will be MLB regulars. That's a really strong top 20.
  12. That kid's super likable, isn't he?
  13. 375/15/50. OBP .539. Set the Cal single season record with 60 walks. Vaughn was an incredible college hitter.
  14. This isn't nearly as true as it used to be.
  15. Boston's a slightly cleaner, massively more racist version of Philly.
  16. That Boston is a s%*# hole and Chicago is a world class city?
  17. We just need guys that can hit the ball out of the infield. I don't care where they play, those are fine tuning problems.
  18. Now that we have both Montgomery's, we're basically the A's with Rickey Henderson and Dave Henderson.
  19. No, the Sox turned him into a starter and created his value. Crochet hadn't started in 6 years.
  20. At this time last year, Crochet had zero value. The Sox did something right.
