You gave up two DECADES ago, yet are still pretending to be a fan?

I didn’t say that. I said that I didnt have confidence in a rebuild from a front office that hasn’t been able to consistently find talent since the early 2000’s. 

I think we need a juicy twitter rumor, @Orlando or else we are left w the “poop” guy searching for Manny in every single SoxTalk thread since the beginning of time.  ?

If things work out in this rebuild you better not be on board all of sudden. 

Without Machado, what % would you give this team to make the playoffs in the next 5 years? I’d give them a 5% chance without him

You've done nothing but essentially call people stupid for everything this entire winter acting like you already have it all figured out and the team is going to fail,  yet you are still here. If it is that miserable. find a new hobby.

80%...look at their division.  And worst case, prospects (top end and depth) can be traded for stars as needed.

Make the playoffs? 75%.

The team was dogshit last year when they were supposed to see improvements from graduated prospects. With exceptions to Jiménez, Kopech, and Cease, all of their prospects have big question marks regarding their future. Picking top 10 year after year has done nothing to help the rebuild when it should have

Great. Why are you here?

Most of the division looks like the Sox, and while the Sox farm looks pretty good now,  the Sox aren't exactly in the upper tier of talent evaluation  and development.   IN one sense the Indians' window is closing...but it's also true that they have far more productive young players on their major league team than the Sox do.

Because I watch between 120-140 games a year and have reason to criticize a team that has come close to the playoffs 1 time in the last 10 years 

All of this hysteria is over these obvious, yet questionable negotiating tactics. So, there might be some possibly unethical tactics being employed by Lozano, as the Sox pursue baseball's "bad boy" through negotiations with his sleazeball agent. Why should any of us be surprised? The bigger surprise would have been a normal, quick resolution.

You are miserable. You should have some hope or good reason to devote all that time and energy to your team. You clearly don’t. 

Any advice about going to Yosemite National Park in the summertime?

Besides DON’T GO at that time, lol?

Back to haikus?

Not miserable at all, I enjoy watching the Sox. I’m just not afraid to admit that they suck

Congratulations on your admission. Unlike all of us here, who I’m sure have not once admitted over the past few years that they have indeed sucked. You are advanced in your whitesox observations.

It’s usually not the beverage itself but the ice (made from tap water?)  you used to make it cold.

If the team sucks this year this board is going to have a major, major reckoning.  Sadly I think it's coming.  Glad I'm not a mod.

Why would anyone think the team is going to be good this year? That's not my expectation at all and it wouldn't change even if we added Machado.

Has anyone mentioned that Wil Myers won't be playing 3rd base any more for the Padres ? Could they jump in on Machado ?

Way back on page 236. No one gave it a 2nd thought back then . Fathom was the only one to say anything.

91 members here to see SS2K5 and Peavy argue it out.....twitter please help us....?
