Wow, you found three threads I composed with negative overtones. Yes, that's definitely representative of everything I've ever posted at Soxtalk.

August 9, 200520 yr Author The one where you mentioned a 4th thread? This is ridiculous. Probably over 40% of my posts are rooting the team on during the game threads.

August 9, 200520 yr Author who the hell is panicking? our lineup stinks and we need to remedy it. In the other thread I wrote "I think this team has a chance to go deep in the postseason" seriously, Soxfan, wtf?

August 9, 200520 yr Author QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 12:30 PM) besides the game threads, how many of the threads that you start do you think are optimistic? Here's the way I board....when the team is doing well, kicking ass, and taking names I don't really say a lot. Yesterday I did put up a thread that asked you to predict the final records of the big three starters, and I think my predictions were on the optimistic side of things. When the team stinks, I feel the need to vent more. So I do it here. That's what the place is here for, right?

Including this one.. in how many threads have you felt compelled to make a comment complaining about the things he posts..?? :headshake Don't answer.. I'm being sarcastic.

August 9, 200520 yr First half record 57-29 Second half record 15-10 You see, here's the deal. If the Sox were, oh say, 8-17 in the second half, I would be upset, too. But, they are above .500 AND still leading the div. by double digits AND not playing their best baseball AND coming into a rough stretch. The team needs a boost...whether it be a bench clearing brawl (not that I would condone that) or a walk off homer like Eckstein the other night. Something to rev this team up again. It's a looooooong season, ladies and gentlemen, and it's very rare that a team doesn't go through a rough hitting or pitching or both stretch. Even the 100+ game winners don't play the best baseball every single day. Let it go, enjoy the season and relax.

Even a pessimistic person like myself agrees with this.
