What's next?

I think everyone thought that.

He's never held him accountable for this dumpster fire of a franchise in the past decade+ that he's been here. Why would he start now?

IDK guys... Is this really more embarrassing than having a GM that has a sub-500 record in 10 years with only 2 playoff appearances and 0 playoff series wins and yet still somehow keeps his job?

That was probably the one good thing about Ozzie. When the team sucked, he would be the first to tell you they sucked. No mincing words and no trying to say what he thought people wanted to hear. And no, this is absolutely *not* a plea for him to return as manager.

Lol. If he hasn't been let go by now, he never will.

I was gonna say, deep down we all know every player on this list is a KW guy.

It won't be.

This is an organization that wouldn't even fire Robin Ventura. He basically had to quit. KW and RH have jobs for life as long as JR is around.

Did you just recently become a fan of this franchise?

Hey! My prediction came true! Who knew?

Looking at the schedule I'm 100% positive the Sox will not lose today.

74. Their streak went from 1996 to 2003. The record before that was 47 which my HS school tied in 1994. This is the article when Savanna tied it originally in 2001. https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2001-09-01-0109010234-story.html

My HS football team did that. We had a losing streak that lasted like 6 years. When they finally won a single game during my senior year (literally the only game they won all year) they had TIED for the longest losing streak. It's since been broken though...

I guess "fortunate" is one way to describe it. Literally no professional GM/president in the history of ever have been given as many chances and failed attempts as Rick and Kenny have.

Well they are currently 20th in the league with 4.17 runs/game. https://www.teamrankings.com/mlb/stat/runs-per-game Somehow Cleveland, KC and Detroit are all worse. They are also 29th in runs given up per game with 5.65 https://www.teamrankings.com/mlb/stat/opponent-runs-per-game Nothing wrong with this team that a better offense, defense and pitching couldn't fix.

That's true. They are kind of the exception to the rule. Although the Twins and Royals seem to get by with smaller payrolls more often than not as well.

I mean obviously nobody could've for-seen that. But should the closer really have the 3rd highest AAV on the team? Just saying they spent a lot of money doesn't mean they've spent it wisely.

Don't tell me what you spent, tell me how you spent it. Like having the most expensive bullpen in MLB that also has the highest ERA. This is from a week ago but I imagine not much has changed since then.

So basically, the same thing as the last 100 years or so? Give or take a year or two here and there.

No, you are right. I saw the interview with Garfien too. He definitely seems a little more salty this year.

It wasn't the umpire granting him time that he was upset about.

Oh yes we can.

Been watching the show The Ark the past month or so. It's basically the plot of the movie Passengers except it's like 100 people instead of just 2. It's set in some sort of apocalyptical future where the earth became uninhabitable and they had to build a bunch of spaceships to send humans to some distant planet. They were supposed to remain in cryogenic sleep but something hit the ship, damaged a large portion of it and woke everyone up prematurely. Also it killed like half the people on board including most of the higher ranking people who actually knew how to run the ship. So far the special effects haven't been too bad. At least for a TV show. They don't really have any "futuristic" technology except for the ship itself which can apparently travel at near light speed. I was worried that it would be a bit Star Trek-ish but it's really not.
