May 29, 2025May 29 If not for the horrible team in CO we would be the laughing stock of major league baseball. Our GM needs to be fired. What a horrible product.

May 29, 2025May 29 I watch a lot of Sox games (unlike some posters...) and have been enjoying some competitive games against good teams. If you don't watch the games and want to just post sarcastic comments about the team, go ahead, but your comments ring hollow. The team has been improving and we have some damn good players and pitchers.

I sorta want to like this post but at the same time we're still playing like 32% ball and we don't really have any "damn good players". We have a couple guys who might be pretty damn good eventually but for now the best we can really say is we might have some solid regulars. Crochett was a damn good player. Smith is for now a solid 3rd starter. That's what I'm saying.

No, trying to sieze some high moral ground and look down your nose as those who you deem as not good enough fans is what rings hollow. Save your lectures.

May 30, 2025May 30 20 games under .500 in May, if you’re enjoying it more power to you but this team is garbage. At least there are some young bright spots this time around, I’ll give you that much.
May 30, 2025May 30 All the spotlight on Colorado simply means there's LESS pressure on Getz and JR to provide a winning product...same thing holds true for Pittsburgh, Miami, etc.

We’re not looking for cover out here. Let’s shine a light on Jerry’s boys. Curse the Rockies!
May 30, 2025May 30 The team is clearly improving and he’s brought more outside talent into front office in a 18 months than his predecessor did in a decade. And the idea that he’s not trying is just silly. From Rule 5 to the July trading period, he’s a pack-mule compared to his predecessor. Things are looking up and the Sox are fun to watch.

It's important to remember he was also the GM last year... Edited May 30, 2025May 30 by chitownsportsfan
May 30, 2025May 30 While they are still losing a lot, the games have at least been more watchable this year. Having some of the young guys up and have actually had success has been nice. There is legitimate hope with some of the guys in the minors right now having real success, some might say are tearing it up. I'm looking forward to Teel getting the call, and hopeful that Colson keeps doing well and gets the call as well. Maybe we see them both in July. If you squint, you can actually see this team maybe having a .500 record next year if things keep progressing well, and then maybe a realistic shot at the division in 27, but of course that's the year the league might be locked out so that will throw it all off just like covid did with our last rebuild. We're cursed 😭
May 30, 2025May 30 Honestly, I really wanted Jerry taking the all-time loss record with him to the grave. The dirty old bastard is getting bailed out.

Sox are trying to turn things around a bit and meanwhile, neither our players or our fans will be phased by Sox haters , Cub fans, or Reinsdorf haters. Some are so blinded by their own hate that they are cheating themselves out of enjoying the games.
May 30, 2025May 30 Some are so blinded by their own hate that they are cheating themselves out of enjoying the games. What's the difference between hate and "pragmatic realism" based on 45 years of JR ownership? In theory, the first time JR will actually be expected to spend $50-100 million of new money in FA is during the 2027-28 off-season, yes? So we still have 2 1/2 or 3 years left to go before we can make any determination about the success of the rebuild...which is great if you're Chris Getz or Venable. Personally, I enjoy EXCITING players, if they're not capable of winning anything. The closest we have to that now is 2023 Robert and Shane Smith when he's on and not walking the world or hitting every 5-10 batters.

If we merely mention the numbers “78” then you get so upset you just wanna fight people Oh boy thank god for you and reinsdorf.
