September 30, 200421 yr I haven't been around in the offseason so I was just wondering how busy this board and others are.
September 30, 200421 yr They stay decently busy. Many people post only during the season, but a pretty big group sticks around and posts all year. During the off season this area pretty much becomes rumor and news central, and then there are the debates for who to get rid of and who to keep.
September 30, 200421 yr Author Yeah, that was pretty much the same thing at espn.com, just rumors and stuff.
September 30, 200421 yr Yeah, that was pretty much the same thing at espn.com, just rumors and stuff. Except none of the idiot trolls...
September 30, 200421 yr Except none of the idiot trolls... And majority idiot posters???? I was pleasantly suprised last offseason with how busy this board stays...Especially the Sports Bar, which IIRC was started last offseason?!?!? Yea stay around....I've been around for a while but i tend to read alot more than I post
September 30, 200421 yr There is a bunch of offseason talk, then all sorts of other topics. I'll be around again during this offseason, as will many of the other posters. It already seems that alot of the season only posters haven't been here lately.
September 30, 200421 yr Baseball never ends... The Playoffs go until November. They drag the post season awards out in December Winter Meetings. Free Agent Signing period. Pitchers and Cathers start reporting in Febuary.

September 30, 200421 yr And don't forget the party that is Soxfest I gotta get in on the festivities this year...the annual bar meetup and such...
September 30, 200421 yr How much do tickets to Soxfest cost? Depends. $15 each for Friday and Sunday. $20 for just Saturday. $40 for the whole weekend. $149 to stay one night at the hotel and get 4 free passes to the fest. $249 to stay the whole weekend at the hotel and get 4 free passes to the fest.

One of the fun times of the year because we actually build up some hope for the next season, am I right?
September 30, 200421 yr One of the fun times of the year because we actually build up some hope for the next season, am I right? I think more hope was built in April and May this year. With the lack of big moves, there wasn't a whole lot of optimism as compared to once the season got started.
September 30, 200421 yr I think more hope was built in April and May this year. With the lack of big moves, there wasn't a whole lot of optimism as compared to once the season got started. I agree. Many people here were none too happy when Uribe was our big trade.
October 1, 200421 yr I remember it staying pretty busy. We all love baseball and the Sox. That's why the last 2 months have been so sad. We've simply had nothing to keep our interest. Cause our performance always had to be hedged by the wondering "what woulda happened had Maggs and Hurt not got hurt?'' I would rather be in it all the way and flame at the end like the Flubs than have this. p.s. I've decided I want the Yanks to sweep the Twins.
