Hoping for some things to happen, and Arizona makes the playoffs!

I think it is more then just Robin's fault. Yes, he has made some (a lot) of in game mistakes. There have been many of times I am screaming at my TV "why the f*** are you doing this!!!" I have thrown the remote so many times, that now my dog thinks it is a game, and runs to go fetch it, and brings it back to me. Kind of nice of him if you ask me. But getting into why I think it is more then just Robin's fault. Outside of 2005, a year that every Sox fan will appreciate to the day they die, this Sox team just has been bad. I know they win the division in 2008, but that team had a lot of flaws, and only won because Hahn's son called the coin flip correctly. This is an organizational problem. From top to bottom. I understand we have made some changes, and it can not happen over night, but it seems like they are still attracted to the same, all or nothing, type hitter. I feel this organization is just out to be ok each year, and with some luck (2008), they will make the playoffs, and see what happens from there. That isn't going to work, not when Detroit isn't going anywhere for the next few years, and KC is up can coming. Being ok with hoping for luck will get you in 3rd place every year. Truthfully, I don't care if we finish 0-162 if we don't make the playoffs. What's the difference? A few thousand fans overall in attendance, and a worse draft pick? I know that rebuilding will not draw the casual fan, but those fans don't come up unless we are winning anyway. I would have no problem if we just tore it down, sucked for 5 years, and at least had a plan. I hate to say this, but something like what the Cubs are doing. Will it work for them, or any other team that tries it? Who knows. But what I do know, is this middle of the pack, average team year in and year out is not working, so you might as well try something different. Right now, IMO, the best thing that can happen is we either go on a lucky run, or we tank it. Trade off Rios, Peavy, and any other player that will fetch you something of value in return. Start the process of building a team that can win in a few years, get a top 5 pick this year. I honestly think it is going to get much worse on the field, before it gets better, but if that "much worse" includes the Sox having a new direction on how to build an organization, that is something that I am ok with. Sorry for my little rant, I just hate when we suck, and right now, we suck.

Congrats Rock! From a HUGE Arizona fan.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 24, 2013 -> 11:53 AM) The Cyclones have looked very, very sloppy in this game, is that how they normally play? I have no clue. I am a die hard Arizona fan, and I think Arizona matches up better vs Iowa State then they do with Ohio State.

Let's go Iowa State!!!

Rumor out there that Aaron Gordon is going to commit to Arizona.

Nice, solid win by Arizona!!! New Mexico (if they win) vs. Arizona should be a fun game.

Michigan State Georgetown Indiana Arizona

Is this game online anywhere?

Price is pitching Tuesday, so it looks like we will face him Sunday....

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Feb 7, 2012 -> 09:21 AM) bigger question is, what the heck is Ozzie doing at a Depaul basketball game? Because Ozzie is a dumb ass?

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Nov 14, 2011 -> 11:07 AM) Can we just a thread just for article dumps? I always think Southsider is bringing up a topic he just thought of and had an opinion, but instead it's just a long article I don't care to read..... I've thought this for a while.

QUOTE (SoxPride56 @ Oct 9, 2011 -> 11:50 AM) Hitting could be Tim Laker or Jeff Manto.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Oct 7, 2011 -> 12:43 PM) I think the real beef is Cowley saying Cooper was a ring leader in getting Ozzie fired. Ozzie quit on the team, organization, and fans. He WAS NOT fired.

Gordon Beckham.

No De Aza? Really?

Yep, we shouldn't boo Rios...

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 20, 2011 -> 06:19 PM) Gotta say...booing Rios upon entering the game is pretty tasteless. I thought it was awesome! I would have booed as well if I were there.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Aug 20, 2011 -> 11:24 AM) After the draft, I recall a website posting a video comparison of Gordan Beckham's swing to that of...........Alex Rodriguez. They were nearly identical. There was no excessive looping action. I honestly believe it was a case of scouting reports identifying a weakness, and Walker/Beckham completely overhauling his swing to accommodate that weakness; which only spiraled out of control. Here is that site... http://www.baseball-intellect.com/Articles...kham-swing.html
