For so long? Let's get some perspective. It's only been 13 years since the WS championship.  Prior to that it was 88 years. They made the playoffs  once in the 80s and had a few good years in the 90s. In 2000 they made the playoffs and started a pretty good run.

They have been bad recently but they told you it was coming and most people agreed it was the best way.

I'm on the younger side. I was in 4th grade the last time the Sox made the playoffs. I'm now a college sophomore. It's been a long time, from my perspective.

If there was no mutiny after 2016 when people tried to pretend to care, no one will mutiny and run them out of town right now because right now there's virtually no one left who cares.

Interesting take from one of our elder stateswoman here.  I'm not sure I would  want to wait. Each passing year, I'll be 61 shortly, and I say don't let me die while they suck . LOL. I think they still need established really good veteran players .It could take years for many of those kids to blossom. Guys like Lester and Verlander. Jd Martinez they all were key pieces to their teams winning the World Series.

Prior to 2005 my comment was, "I just want them to win one world series before I die, just one." Because they had never won. Now my perspective has changed and I wonder if I will use the down escalator when I die because I want another one.

Shit just got real, MARLINS MAN is behind the MLB network set!

Ralph Macchio, I am not. But I may have  bargained a little of it away. Maybe my first born.

Glad Scott is here to throw cold water on everything.

I should've known you didn't sell your soul to a crossroads demon since after 10 years the hell hounds come to get you and it's been 13 years already.

Never know.  I could be the robot from the other thread or a demon here just to drive people nuts.?

That just means they aren't signing both Harper and Machado.

My Archway Cashew Noughat cookie told me. They never lie.

Archway?  Were you on the Bozo buckets this morning?

not seeing why people are pissed about the Merkin tweet, as the context is more clear with the previous Ricky tweet he had a minute prior

Still my favorite holiday cookie. They aren't around the rest of the year.

Cashew nougat does sound amazing 

WSD mutiny post just illustrates what tony and I (and others) have said about the fan base melting down in a very bad way if they miss on both guys (especially if Bryce goes to Cubs)

They are. And they never lie.

It's still super early especially when it comes to Boras. If Harper signs this early you can almost guarantee it's a terrible contract and much better then the next highest offer.

Like for example that Corbin deal. I wouldn't be surprised if the Nationals were 30-40 million more then the next highest offer.

You see year 6 on that deal?  $35 mil!
