QUOTE (DirtySox @ May 5, 2012 -> 04:46 PM) I'm okay with it. I'd enjoy a clear cut direction in building for a better and more sustainable future versus being stuck in .500ish purgatory for the foreseeable future. Though I'm someone who will watch the Sox good or bad. Thats fine and all. Rebuilding sometimes is good. The problem is we dont know how long thats going to take. It could be a while before were good enough to get into the playoffs. By a while I mean it could take more than just a few years.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 5, 2012 -> 04:42 PM) It will grind down the fans' patience, though. We've already seen this tired act for 3+ years now, the main difference is we could additonally watch Carlos Quentin jack another 30 randomly-timed homers out. Right...nobody wants to watch a team stink(except for Cubs fans). You think attendance is bad now. Wait until we go on a long losing streak.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ May 5, 2012 -> 04:35 PM) Yep. It seems many people still have high expectations for this team for some reason. The saving grace of Sale to the bullpen is the fact that it will likely push Kenny (or his replacement) to fully commit to a rebuild instead of this stuck in between nonsense. It prob has to do with the fact that losing and rebuilding are no fun.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 5, 2012 -> 04:25 PM) He looks like a pitcher at the plate. The 0-1 swing was comical. He looks so overmatched, and I wouldn't be surprised if he's sent down after the road trip. I really hope so

You guys want to keep watching that for the rest of the season?

Hahaha Morel is a joke

Horrible at bat by Viciedo and here comes Morel

Alright send him home Viciedo

Come on Alex

Lol that little girl had one confused look on her face

Well that was a good pitch and he didnt call it

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 5, 2012 -> 04:07 PM) Paulie had no chance on that pitch. Time to tip your cap and say that other guy is too tough. Thanks Ozzie you can go back to Miami now

See thats why I want to send him down. God awful swing

QUOTE (fathom @ May 5, 2012 -> 03:41 PM) No question I'd rather him try to prove what he can do in the majors then go to AAA and put up average numbers and fool the organization into giving him another shot at 3b next year. Well at some point the people in the FO have to realize he isnt the answer. But if were rebuilding thats what we have to do.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 5, 2012 -> 03:38 PM) How are you guys ripping Morel for not making a diving play? That s*** is not an error for a reason. He had to DIVE to get it, and just couldn't come up with it. It's disappointing, but not something you rip a player for, Jesus. Well he did just get ripped for it

QUOTE (fathom @ May 5, 2012 -> 03:38 PM) Sale becoming closer means Morel needs to be playing in the majors all year. Let him prove if he's MLB caliber or not, as this year is a full-out rebuilding year now. Yeah thats going to be a fun ride

Im ready for Morel to go to AAA right now

Thanks Morel

QUOTE (fathom @ May 5, 2012 -> 03:33 PM) One of the softer hits you'll see. Sox look energetic today...not Could have something to do with that blown save yesterday

QUOTE (fathom @ May 4, 2012 -> 11:09 PM) They got some really good players at the deadline last year, which has really boosted their farm system. Yes they did...but it seems like they are rushing some of them.

No argument there

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 4, 2012 -> 10:37 PM) The only difference is that I have defended him the whole offseason until today. We've become the most irrelevant team in the major leagues under KW's watch. You can argue the Padres or the Astros, but both those teams seem to have better plans and new/exciting/innovative GM's in place that will stop trying to pound round pegs into square holes. I would not say that the Astros have a better plan.

Well thank you for another fire Kenny thread. We sure needed more of those.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 4, 2012 -> 08:57 PM) Shame on Kenny for not forcing him into the closer spot. Every decision this organization made during Spring Training has been the wrong one. Well you can trade Thornton and send down Santiago to help Robin out if you wanted.
