Lol.

Ahahahaha This man speaks the truth.

I wouldn't mind the Sox being a small to mid market team if they operated like a smart small market team. They don't. They're a borderline mid market team that acts like they're the fucking Yankees.

That was wonderful. He wins the interwebs.

Let's all get real. None of us are leaving. We're just talking out loud about how to enjoy baseball while awaiting competent ownership, whenever that may be.

God when ptatc joins the dark side, you know things are grim.

Oh joy. Then they come out of it and fall off of a cliff. Fun. I don't want to be serious. I want to be funny and get other people laughing.

Lol. I was joking because the guy said "plan snowjob" and a snowjob is slang for having cocaine on your nose after snorting a line.

They need to get with the times. Either do it like the Rays/A's or spend with the big boys. I think we'd all understand if they had a top notch player development, analytics and international scouting program and still were willing to go into FA for guys like Grandal and Wheeler. Jerry refuses to spend internationally. He refuses to spend on player development/scouting. He refuses to spend on analytics. He refuses to spend in FA. This is the way you become the 1993-2012 Pittsburgh Pirates.

Kinda thinking the same. They had no intention of winning or spending money. They have to do lowball offers. I'm convinced that the 5/125 offer to Wheeler was a PR stunt after Wheeler said he wasn't interested. The only offered it because they knew it wouldn't be accepted.

We're all in this thread because we're questioning the organizational commitment to winning. I'm starting to be convinced that Jerry and Bill Wirtz spent too much time together at the UC.

I question the organizational commitment to winning right now.

I want to tell you a secret.....Sampson is right! @Quin I started this thread because the Rendon thread was getting hijacked.

I'll watch the Athletics and Rays and dream about how the Sox should be run if Jerry had a clue.

It's not about that either. It's about the inability of the FO and ownership to live on planet earth rather than Uranus. They're insulting our intelligence at this point. Wheeler was the affordable play. Best of both worlds. Ace upside that didn't cost ace prices. It's the Certified Preowned Beamer. Once that didn't happen, plan B should have been Strasburg/Cole. You have to go pay the sticker price now. Got to buy new. Instead they're going to the salvage lot. They skipped the new car dealership and went right to the beater lot.

Hookers and Blow for everyone!

I didn't. It's more about not being linked to any remaining SP targets.

What about plan 9 from outer space?

Well sure. It's not going to be anything inspiring. Something like Wood/Miley and Porcello/Walker, a crappy reliever and call it an offseason.

How about Planet X?

This is it.

Jerry is channeling his inner Bill Wirtz. That is all.

Bloviate here.

It's not even close. The difference between Hahn and the remainder of baseball is megaparsecs. Rick Hahn is a disgrace to his profession.

He's still better than Hahn. The Sox are living in the Golden Sombrero galaxy. Just whiff after whiff.
