Lots of teams give out details early in ST about injuries impacting their players. This isn’t bad at all for the Sox. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've enjoyed his interesting tweets, but I thought he was just a fan. Is he a media person or something? Never mind; I confused him with Jay Cuda.

Playoff record in those three appearances is 3-8. Seven playoff appearances in the past 43 years, among the worst in baseball Knock yourself out enjoying this sir! 😉 You realize being a fan is voluntary, right? 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was born and raised on the South Side, my family was all Sox fans, some of my earliest memories revolve around the team starting in 1960. I'm loyal but unquestioned loyalty to anything...a government, a religion, a sports team is dangerous. After following the team for 63 seasons I've earned the right to criticize I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Hit Men Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I have supported all but a handful of players over the years. Teams are good, bad or mediocre, but nearly all try their best each season, and they didn't determine the payroll or assemble the roster. If I didn't like the players, not sure what the point was to follow the team or the sport in general. Older now, players are all children age at this point, so have reduced interest over time which I think is a natural progression for many fans. Just a nice Summer routine talking a long walk and listening to the game or enjoying while lounging around with a Summer breeze or perhaps watching with friends or family. Don't follow any of the other sports at this stage, don't miss them much. Anyway, really looking forward to listening to the game. Planned on trying to watch it and hear the new announcer but looks like cold and snow so Len and DJ on AM 1000 is the plan for this afternoon. Play Ball!!
