joejoesox Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 1 hour ago, Lip Man 1 said: Keep in mind while by all accounts TLR and most of this coaching staff should be fired, this organization actually extended Terry Bevington after the Sox collapsed in 1996 after a 40-21 start blowing a wild card position the final month. Bevington by all accounts was incompetent as a manager. But the fans and the media wanted him gone...JR doesn't like being told what he should do. show me one billionaire that doesn't think they're 100% right, all the damn time. they all surround themselves with high paid sycophants who's sole purpose is to tell them how smart they are. Reinsdorf is no different. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left fielder Eloy Jimenez left the game in the ninth, three innings after appearing to limp while running out an infield hit. Yea this is some 🐴💩 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reinsdorf is no different. I would bet you that Warren Buffet is up there specifically because he doesn’t do that. Lots of guys are up there because of one move and one lucky break, but he’s up there because of consistent performance over decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahn watches different baseball games than the ones we do. I'd like to know who is in the scouting department both at the Major and Minor league levels. Whoever they are, they are really bad and need to be replaced. Edited August 27, 2022 by The Mighty Mite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team sucks Sox have reached the point I don't care either, which is strange because as a fair weather fan if they somehow get hot and make the playoffs I still would care. It's just that series after series they just reek and though I feel sorry for the injured players it grows old following their maladies.

No reason not to go with Romy or Lenyn who each have some upside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
