Soxplosion

OK, so maybe we should just forget about the call. It is in the past. I dont like Cooper at all and I think we shoulda won but its time to let it go. Its obvious no ones gonna help so theres no point arguing over it. This team is trash. We have no bullpen, our offense is struggling. I dont see how they will start beating teams like Minnesota and Oakland after going 12-10 against the crap of the league. I dont wanna see whats gonna when they go to Oakland. You're making a lot of comments tonight that I think you very well may regret in the future. "I'm embarassed to be a Sox fan" and "this team is trash" are not very easy to talk your way out of. I think you better start covering your ass by saying "I'm embarassed to be a Sox fan after the way we played against the O's" and "this team is trash lately", otherwise you'll be called a hypocrite (by me ) when you start saying "the Sox rule!" and "this team is great!" The team is trash right now. Im disgusted with our bullpen and our offense, which should be leading the league in runs, is no where to be found...

Hey hsc, KW has gotten us Colon, Loaiza, Rios, Jiminez, White and Koch (both good pitchers, how could he have known theyd do so poorly?). Hes put a ton of talent out on the field. JM is the one who is misusing all our talent...

Im with Jas on this one. Lets stay inside the organization and get Backman...

Lets think for a moment. I cant think of a certain example but Ill just make one up. Lets say theres a man. And this guy gets mad at his wife while hes drunk. So he doesnt really think about it and bashes her over her head with a rum bottle (wait, that sounds a little like Sosa, well whatever). He made a mistake. Does that mean he shouldnt be punished? No, he should be put away. So Cooper made a mistake, lets fire him, he needs the punishment. You guys are talking about firing Manuel for his mistakes, so why cant Cooper be fired for his? You are comparing a man committing a criminal act against the woman he supposedly loves to an umpire making a bad call? Are you for real in this discussion man? If you are, I think you're blowing it WAY WAY out of proportion, but if you're not, it's pretty funny. Im comparing the husbands mistake to Coopers mistake. They were only mistakes but they deserve to be punished for them... God, either you're about 23 days late with this thread or you just don't have a clue, man. 23 days late? What are you talking about?

Another person lacking initiative, care or determination. People like this piss me off... If you have so much initiative, why are you seeking our approval in your quest to....have Cooper fired? Is that your quest? If you were such a type A personality, you would take action regardless of others' opinions. First off, I have idea where to send this message. And is Bud Selig gonna reform the game on the word of a 15 y/o kid? No way. I need the support of a lot of people for him to listen. One letter supported by one kid aint gonna change a thing. And doub, you speak your mind so I respect you for that. But you lack initiative, and that I dont like too much...

No one here cares..? Did you not see the posts from everyone pissed off..?? So what do you propose we do Roman..? Is it going to change the outcome of the game? If YOU want to do something, do something mature. Not booing at the All Star game. That just plain stupid. Great steff. We posted angry posts on a message board. Its not even the mlb run board. If anyone here really cared they write the problem to Selig and his band of idiots. But thats too hard. I dont care either. My word wont change anything, thats why I tried to get your guys help. Whatever, well just continue to suck and lose and no one will ever care that this downfall started because some idiot with the visual capacity of a bat screwed up a critical call. Im embarrassed to be a Sox fan... Wow. Embarassed to be a Sox fan? That's a strong statement dude. Writing a letter to Selig will do nothing. Do you think Cooper made the mistake on purpose? I highly doubt it. I hate to defend him because he did absolutely make a mistake, but he's only human man. I just wish the crew would have overturned the call when they met after JM came out to argue. That didn't happen, and it's in the past. And our downfall hasn't started yet man. We're 12-10, and while that's bad considering who we've played, let's hope some stiff competition will get us to kick it into gear. Sometimes talented teams play down to their competition, so let's see what happens this weekend vs. Minnesota. If we can't get up for a series at home vs. the Twins, I will concede that this team is in major trouble. If something horrible, such as getting swept, occurs over the weekend, I wouldn't be shocked if JM gets fired Monday. We lost two of three to the friggen Orioles. Thats friggen embarassing... Would sweeping the Twins erase your embarassment? If so, you are a very fickle fan. We wont do that. Garlands pitching game two. Rack that one up for the Twins already. We have the other two tho...

Im embarrassed to be a Sox fan... Oh geez.. now you're embarassed to be a Sox fan..? You crack me up. Roman.. EVERYONE saw the play. Trust me.. it'll get talked about. You need to relax. Now.. back to my initial comment.. if you boo at the All Star game, I'm kicking your ass! Im gonna be like Clevelands dog pound and hurl bottles at the ump. Not really, Im pretty outrageuos but not that much. And one case of another person on this board who speaks his mind is apu. Hes on the other side of the political spectrum but he says what he thinks. Apu, I respect you for that...

Of course we care. But, nobody cares more than Joe Crede does, yet he treated it like he's a veteran and he basically dismissed it as 1 game and that in the grand scheme of things, it's not going to make or break the season. If the guy who HIT it isn't spazzing out, it'd be silly for us to. Credes a moron. One game can make or break a season. Weaklings dont argue for their cause. Crede knew it was fair. He should have told that moron Cooper that he thought so. But nope he just sat back and took it all light. When the final standings look something like Kansas City 90-72, Chicago WS 89-73, Im going to be very pissed off. But the way were playing, it might be Kansas City 90-72, Chicago WS 72-90. Were playing like crap. And now the road gets a lot bumpier... Now Joe's a moron..? Unreal. If he had made a scene things would have only gotten worse. Sometimes you act like an ADULT and you take the high road no matter if YOU know YOU are RIGHT. The people on this Earth who dont speak their minds are weak. The strong speak their minds and people know what they are thinking. Joes a weakling, a true man would tell the ump what he thought. Thats exactly what I do. People know what goes on in my mind, and can ya guess why? Cuz I tell em. I bet there are people on this board who think Joes a moron and the umps should be booed but theyre afraid to speak their mind. That why my opinions are so outrageuos, because I speak my mind. I dont cover my emotions by naivete and pretending all is good...

The way this team is playing I dont even think well get that close to whoevers leading the division. We just gotta get it in gear or all this promise we had is gone to waste...

We have all the talent in the world but no manager who knows how to use it. Im so sick of this team. Im going to bed, I dont even wanna discuss this team anymore, they have too many problems to be solved...

This team has so much talent yet such an idiot for a manager. Two of three to the Orioles, its an embarassing time to be a Sox fan. Whered all that hope we have at the start of the season go? And when are the Royals gonna fall? Theyll fall soon and this division will be up for grabs. If we want it, were gonna have to get our butts in gear and take it!

Ya gotta give some exception to Marte. He got hit hard today, but hes been pretty good. But White, Gordon and Koch all blow...

Another thing I missed. Why didnt Glover go in instead of that trash White? Then Marte and then **gulp** Koch (maybe Marte coulda gone for two). But no he puts in White and after White messes up he doesnt go for marte, he goes for Flash. And in a flash, the lead is gone...

Our bullpen absolutely sucks. Our team ERA is 3.82. That of the starters is 3.66. That of the relievers is 4.80! Thats a horrible ERA for a bullpen. Not to mention theyve blown like a gazilion leads. I thought we woulda have solved this problem by acquiring White, Gordon and Koch but theyve been the ones that made that ERA so high. Ill pardon Marte, Glover and Wunsch. Theyre doing great. Its just a few blowhards who are screwing it up for everyone. And Konerko sucks. He is hitting .211, I wanna crap my pants everytime he comes to the plate. Guys like Frank and Lee are pulling out of it but Konerko has done nothing. Hes only killed rallies with his constant double plays. I think Rios deserves more playing time. Put Frank at first and Rios at DH. Hey, Konerko was all big on benching frank when he was slumping last year, now lets return the favor and bench him. Well Sox lose. Another painful game blown away by the bullpen. Its been like that ever since 2001. Our bullpen sucks. We gotta get some real pitchers for the pen, to replace Gordon, Koch and White. These guys blow. And Im releasing Jorge Julio from my keeper league. I dont care how well he is, I dont want him...

Who?

Hey count me in. Not sure what Im doing tho so I might not be able to stay long. My brother has a baseball game, Im having company from out of town. Just dont know how things will work out. Ill drop in if I can. Until when will it last? I could probably drop in for a while...

The NFL keeps score, so to speak, on all officials throughout the season. The best are the ones that end up reffing in the Playoffs and Super Bowl, and those who accumulate a certain number of "bad points" are fired. Anyone know if MLB has any type of disciplinary rules in place? I've never heard of any. Thats a good idea. But if we take no initiative nothing will happen...

Thanks for all your help. We were robbed of a win and no one is going to do anything. Lets just suffer under miserable umps who will continue to rip us off. I cant believe no one here actually cares...
