They are ranked #5 this preseason, 

"Why aren't we #1?"  I laughed hard at that line.  

I hope the Sox lose today and not let Menechino board the plane back to Chicago.

My high school was in the final 4 and projected to win in 2020. We have a huge trophy in our case with State Champion engraved on the side. 

Pretty sure any of us can get hired as next Sox GM if we tell Jerry we field a $40M annual payroll, purchase and present a "piece of metal" to fans each year and pocket the difference. Can even engrave the infamous Einhorn E on the trophy, and capture the 1983 logo.

2023 Promotional Calendar 

June 14 is Participation Trophy Night. The first 25,000* fans will receive replica participation trophies, exactly like the ones Tony made for the players. 

*22,465 trophies will be left over.

Leury will be in the lineup today, guess is Seby catches and Grandal at DH. 

Harrison 1/12 against Greinke, so think  you'll see Leury at 2b today. 

 

Also i had an epiphany last night. Why do we continue to watch this team? Boredom? Habit? What are we even playing for? Is there really anybody truly who thinks this is a championship roster, even when healthy? Do we really think we can take down the Astros/Yankees/Jays in back to back series? Like with the current setup let's say we win the division ... we likely are hosting either TB/Seattle/Toronto for a 3 game series at home. Let's just say we win that series ... we've now used Cease, Lynn and Gio? And then we go into a Yankees or Houston for a series with like Verlander/Cole v. Kopech or Cueto? say we pull of the unlikely .... then we go again into a series against the Yankees/Jays/Houston for 7 games. With a tired Kopech arm that's getting less impactful by each start, let alone October ... this lineup, these bats, this plate discipline ... and again, lets say we pull off the downright crazy and win that series we're rewarded with the Braves/Dodgers/Padres/Mets for 7 more. Our chances of winning are like 1 in 100. 

 

Instead of working ourselves up to be the MN Twins and being happy with a division and a first round exit I am now shifting not caring. I am shifting to cheering against this piss poor team. The only way you see a roster shakeup, FO office shakeup and a managerial firing is via no playoffs. No playoffs = less fans renewing their season ticket packages and that is about the only thing that will wake up JR. $$ is the only language he talks. he doesn't care if the team wins, he cares about money. 

 

So here's hoping to a 1-0 Royals win today on a CG from Greinke! 

You are 100 percent correct on one thing. To get any major shakeup, the team needs to have a horrible finish and not only miss the playoffs, but miss it badly. To a point where the fans stop going to the games. That is the only way to get the POS Jerry off his arrogant and demented mindset to make wholesale changes. 

Having said that, its so unfair to the players with potential on this team who do care and the die-hard loyal Sox fans who don't deserve this! Go F*#K yourself Jerry!

Haha, so Sheets plays against a LHP but not a RHP.  Love getting Grandal’s bat in the lineup while downgrading defense at 1B…not

Had to get Yaz's bat in the line up. Tony must get drunk at breakfast.

I just don;t understand batting him 5th. He's a singles hitter in 2022. And not a premier one either. And I am no Yaz hater, but watch the games Tony.

Him and Yoan batting consecutively is just punishing to fans

But not before watching Caddyshack.

Grandal at 1B is the equivalent to Sheets/Vaughn in the OF, your such a jackal Tony!

I’d love to know how many millions Tony is paid to run this team into the ground. 

Fat drunk and stupid is no way to go thru life son.

I like the "I'll punish you until you quit" approach. 

Is anyone fired yet??????    NO..............Shit show continues

BTW- I guarantee you that Grandal will do something at 1B today that will lead to a  loss.

Leury Garcia’s OPS.
