Because the Sox laid out a plan (the tank job, rebuild with stud draft picks and a couple trades involving our good players) and the plan failed so miserably (Chicago teams should NEVER TRY TO LOSE; this once was one of the greatest cities of the world for gosh sakes; city of big shoulders!), I would only rebound mentally if Jerry sold the team. At this point I wouldn't mind the Sox moving and Chicago's south city getting an expansion team. This year's start, to have a team out of it after 4 weeks is just sad and unacceptable. Only reason to go to a game is for the smells and visuals at the ballpark and the eats. No reason to go watch these bums play ball. Sell the team Jerry, please? Greg... shouldn't that same sentiment about not rebuilding have been applied to the Epstein Era Cubs, 2015-16 Royals, Astros, Braves, Pirates this year, Padres, Guardians, Twins, Orioles; teams that all pretty much went into complete teardown mode before achieving success? For example, Red Sox and Giants and Rockies tried to play it halfway and look where they are at now... Edited May 2, 20232 yr by caulfield12

They got hot and won 19 out of 20 games with winning streaks of 7 and 12 games. If ever the team needed something like those 61 Sox, now is the time, maybe yesterday’s amazing victory will be the start. Yeah that team only finished 23 games out of first!

Apples and oranges.

May 2, 20232 yr Author Like I said yesterday, if I’m a player or coach showing up today, I’m thanking the baseball gods for the AL Central and treating today like it’s opening day. The next 32 are not that bad. They either win and stay or lose and get traded (or fired). If they get it together, 20-12 is not out if the question and they’ll be comfortably in the single digit games back with 100 left. This is me if I’m in uniform. As a fan, I’m not as optimistic. It’s put up or shut up time.
May 2, 20232 yr I don't believe they can go 18-11 this month, but if they can, a record of 26-32 and hopefully being 6 games or less out can potentially give them a chance. But honestly I'm so over everyone in this organization, I don't mind losing and just not caring. Last year was such a purgatory of a season, at least it's been straight up hell this year. I think we know what this team is and it sucks.
May 5, 20232 yr Author Yesterday was such a buzzkill. 75-55 to win 85 games? No. Not this team. See you in July for the moves.
