DonkeyKongerko Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 Hopefully this team can take a page or 95 from that 2000 club and do what needs to be done here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff Posted April 2, 2003 Author Share Posted April 2, 2003 A blind squirrel like JM, only finds an acorn so many times. Oh geezus. If we had won today we'd be 1-1. We're 0-2 and it's "off with their heads!". So we end up 160-2. I hate to see if we have a 3 game losing streak later in the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why we're Sox fans....we get pissed when we are guaranteed a good product and we are shown no signs of a good product. Let's hope they can get their heads out of their asses real soon. I gotta feeling that all we will need to get going will be a huge ass kicking of the other team....whether it be like us physically kicking the s*** out of the other team.....or us just blowing them out like 17-6 or something like that in a game. We're like a big f***ing boulder....and all we need is a little push to get us started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm.. mine must have gotten lost And don't play that "that's why we're Sox fans" crap. I've been there for THIRTY years. I agree about the boulder analogy. That's all these guys need. A little bit of confidence. It'll come tomorrow. Take that to the bank folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwsox Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 And the Angels stumbled at the start last year. Who the hell knows what this means. Our worlds can't fall apart when we lose 2 in a row. I am not very happy about losing but I think there has been a bit of an over reaction in here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little bit of confidence. It'll come tomorrow. Take that to the bank folks. I'm not talking about someone coming out and saying that we are guaranteed success....but when you make moves like the Sox did this past offseason....it sends a message to the fan base...IMO anyways....that says "We are going to win." When you start out 0-2....fans get pissed. Now why can't I play "that's why we're Sox fans"? It sounds so good! We've been through it all....except a World Series....and we should get it this year.

I am not very happy about losing but I think there has been a bit of an over reaction in here. I'm just sick of Manuel not paying attention to what the hell is going on and over managing at times. He's got one of the best benches to work with in baseball and he didnt even try to make it effective today. I speak out of frustration from last year. I really dont like Manuel as a manager. Bunting on a full count?????? what is this baylor ball? Yeah, it's only 0-2, but Manuel has blown a lot of games in teh past because of overmanaging or just sitting there when he needs to make a move. He has suck a good bench now, it should be hard for him to screw up close games. But when you have a very good bunter in valentin , why the hell is graffy bunting and on a full count! I dont belive graffy made that decison himself. If he did, there's no reason for him to be giving tips to kids at soxfest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwsox Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 I would never bunt on 0-2 and I don't like Graf bunting at all (has he ever done it well?). I like JM more than you but this one has me puzzled. All the wrist slashing by others that is going on is good though. Real Sox fans don't let their boats get rocked so easily. No team in history has never lost 2 in a row. All those who kill themselves tonight, go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesox247 Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 Yea another pitiful game today. The guys need to stop playing Spring Training ball. But enough with the pessimism already, its only 2 games, we can't win 'em all. At least now we can start bad and get better, instead of starting terrific and letting us down.

I thought some of his moves today where odd, but I don't think he cost the Sox the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Showtime Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 As for the 0-2 start, it's no big deal, but when you have Buehrle and Colon on the hill and you can't win, it drives you nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Showtime Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 I should add, I was kinda wondering why Jose wasn't in their to bunt. But please, if you can't get a bunt down, get off the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 In 2000... I like your thinking Steff. I'm not worried at all. I know this is a good team and I know they are going to be there. Remember how the Angels started last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember how the Angels started last year. I'm not too worried either..... but this is the same crap we saw in 2001 and 2002. Something needs to happen and happen fast. We don't want to get too far behind the 8-ball too early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
