Announce what? KWs resignment? I hope thats never confirmed. He didnt do anything to deserve what is happening. But Einhorn and Reinsdorf, who have been crappy owners since the beginning, are bullying him into this. A very sad fate which has trapped our organization...

MT, I wish I was a Marine but Im not. Im only 15. Joining the Marines is just my life goal...

Whys anybody even concerned about World Series home field advantage? Until JM is fired, theres no way the Sox will be doing anything but golfing in October. Harsh but true...

Maroth sucks. Hell lose twenty games easy and it wont be because hes a tough luck loser like Ritchie was at the beginning of last year, it will be because his ERa is 5.66. When you have an ERA of 5.66, youll lose the majority of your games...

What are you talking about? KWs not done yet. No one has confirmed his resignation yet. Just wait! And an above average player gets hit about every third AB. So you cant always count on him to smash it, sometimes you need to tak the low road and just advance the runner. Yes, I love line drives and towering homeruns but sometimes you need to just get the job done with bunts and steals. As for the Ritchie trade. Wells and Fogg arent as great as everyone makes them out to be. And Ritchie was a decent pitcher before 2002. Thats what we needed, a decent pitcher, and thats what KW got. I realize we got ripped off but could anybody have honestly predicted that Ritchie would tank like that? I you could, ya lyin...

We were having a discussion about the AS game and how stupid the one man rule is on another thread. So I decided to find out who you think should represent the Tigers. Id say Monroe. He has like half the ABs everyone else has but if he got the playing time hed lead the time in just about every offensive category. I just wonder what position he plays...

Winns numbers last year were respectable but they werent AS numbers. And Fick was probably a better example. A guy like that shouldnt be there just because hes the teams best player...

OK, from 2000-2002, the Sox hit 216, 214 and 217 bombs as a team respectively. Then, we could afford a crappy manager who does nothing and just relies on the longball, because, well, we hit a lot of homers. In 2003 we are on pace for 193 homeruns and that is a significant dropoff. We must turn more to small ball so that nearly everytime a man gets on base we get him in. Thats what good teams with good managers do. But JM continues to sit in "JMs corner" and do absolutely nothing. And the Sox blow scoring opportunities routinely, when we have a game where we get three runs on thirteen hits, something is seriously wrong. If he adjusted, I would accept him (notice I only said accept, I would never like this schmuck as a manager) but he hasnt adjusted. And how can we blame all our problems on a guy whos given us Colon, Marte, Koch (yeah he doesnt look good but he has a good record, he will recover), and Jiminez? I dont care if hes writing the lineups. I like our lineups, except when Rowand/Harris start in place of Rios. But I dont care about the lineups, I care about what happens during the game. Like when he put the struggling Rick White in in the middle of a jam. Or when he refuses to bunt the tying run to second with no men out. Thats what bothers me. His in game tactical failures. Geez, I thought everyone used to hate JM, now you all seem to love him. Can anybody tell me exactly why you support him so much? Hes done little to make me feel even neutral to him, much less like him. I will support JM in one scenario, and that is the moment he resigns or gets fired. And not a moment earlier. I dont care if we win the WS each year for the next decade with him in charge, I will never support him. Perhaps Ill give him credit when credit is due but thats not likely to happen. Koch This sums it up perfectly in his sig, "JM couldnt manage a box of peanuts"...

I hate the French even more. France can go to Hell!

Ugh, hes about to turn thirty. Thats mighty old for a rookie...

Im glad we have this kid. Is he a starter? But Im wondering why hes happy to be playing with us? Right now, I really wouldnt want to be on this baseball team...

Thanks SI, thats just the guy I wanted to be compared too when I picked this name...

Welcome to the boards! I know you but you dont know me. I used to read espn. Didnt like the format tho so I didnt register. I just liked to see more opinions and for some reason trolls kinda amuse me. I like to see the opinions of other teams fans when they play us too. I like diversity, I guess...

Get a partial ticket plan and you can go to the season ticket holder party and play catch. You can also pick up the dugout phones, and pretend you are the manager and KW is calling to tell you what to do. Then yell "f*** Off AssFace!" and hang up. Last year I flopped around on the ground in leftfield to get the same perspective that C.Lee does most games. Then I sat in the sox dugout for 3 hours to see what life was like for Jeff Liefer. LOL!

I like the popsicle one. Thats funny stuff...

Did that entire thing off the top of my head. I looked at marines.com to get every period right but the words I know right off the top of my head...

Oh that was a great movie. Love that part especially. Sorry about yoru unfortunate incident which kept you from serving. Its nice to know you tried tho...

US Marine Corp. My Corp Your Corp Awesome. Are you a Marine? I hope to become a Marine officer after college, and I most likely will go to college... OK, now, after Semper Fidelis, Im going to put the entire Marine hymn in my sig...

Like last year with Randy Winn. He wasnt an AS. The DRays didnt deserve one, they shouldnt have gotten one because of some stupid rule.

No you idiot. I was thinking more along the lines of Lepidus...

Whatever. Maybe I should be the young roman. Would you like that more? And can you read the banner on my avatar? Without looking at the symbol of course...

Come on now, seriously...

Do you even know who "the Old Roman" was?

Id like to see that, especially the part about Frank, but first Manuel needs to go. Then well be all set...

Do we even need to test him? Its obvious JM wont get us to the playoffs, with or without Williams. Fire him now and maybe well have a chance...
