Bottom line is this city should be a destination for nba players and it simply has not been since MJ left. Garnett joked about the ice out in like 99 and it never thawed
I don't think Covey is going to be DFAed barring a complete meltdown. They will let him get the rest of the season and see if he can put something together
barring injury of course
Come on dude, they have played this exact "we want to have money available for when we are good" game like 4 times. They never spend, they always come up short, and they do it again. Two years ago when they traded Jimmy they said the exact same shit about 2019 free agency and here we are
I think the Sox could use more homers also, and they gave Palka almost 50 at bats and got one hit that barely cleared the infield. The Sox have to move on from these guys now if they cannot contribute in any way
Again, thanks for setting us all straight. We are all just meandering boats in a vast ocean of emptiness without your guidance for sure. I mean before this last flurry of posts I'm sure SCCWS and I know myself we're completely unaware that this season was as a matter of fact NOT normal circumstances
You are telling me to lighten up when you are telling someone else that actually this wasn't a good half
so glad we have you hear to correct all of positive thoughts about the season! Thanks Lip!
Why the hell do you have to even say this, like we don't know? Good lord man, everything is just a negative slant. The first time in YEARS that it seems like we can start to see the light at the end of the tunnel and every chance you get it's like "Well AKSHUALLY".

He has spent what, a total of 6-7 months in the Sox minor leagues? They are far from perfect but his defensive issues have nothing to do with their instruction. He was acquired to hit bombs, the end.
They did, but before they did they suffered, hard. Lost 100 games three seasons in a row. And in those seasons they made some mind numbing signings like Edwin Jackson and David DeJesus and traded away minor league players that turned out to be good major leaguers.
The fact is Theo's last couple years in free agency have sucked, and the 2015-2016 seasons have largely bouyed them and brought them the playoffs. If Theo made better moves or even did NOT make certain moves, they might have more rings rights now. I'm sure they would rather have Arrieta instead of a Darvish right now and especially last season.
Those very same top of the line, quality free agents are sinking them right now. The cubs aren't perfect, Darvish, Heyward, descalso, chatwood, morrow are not really glowing reports
and if this is what Kimbrel really is, they are in deep shit.
