I can't remember a Sox team who has disappointed me more. I wish I had followed my usual rule of not looking at baseball until the NBA playoffs are finished. That way if the team really sucks I only have to care until football season. Here it is early June and already I can't stomach another game. I can't even get pissed anymore.

 

Does this Sox team have the greatest drop from expectation to performance?

For me personally, it's top 3 no doubt.

this team makes me feel queasy.... no kidding... the start they had last year was a real let-down..... but this year... i am so f***ing disgusted with mgmt and all the players.... anyone they get rid of would be ok with me.

I'm a Sox fan since the 57 season and if this isn't the most disappointing season so far then its damn close. As I'm typing away I think that 94 (the strike year) was most disappointing because for the first time in their history the Sox were going to make the postseason in successive years and I really think they had a good shot at the WS. This year would be second and the 73 season third. Team performance wise this is possibly the biggest letdown. The 73 team had so many DL injuries and the 94 team was stopped by the strike. The 84 team is right up there in the disappointing play category.

1960 was a let down. This year is pretty bad, and it might not get any better until some changes are made and we get a few hits.

For me personally, it's top 3 no doubt.

84 is tops if 1967 isn't -

 

73 is next for me

 

95 is in there

 

not able to rank this one until season's end but right now is heading for a top 5 finish perhaps

1984 and 2001 are on my list. This one is way up there. But 1994 is the worst, not because of the way we played, but the way it ended.

Nothing tops 84 but this could be top 3 ?

good point...

'03 is the worst BY FAR since 2000. My top 3 would be 84, 94, and 97 (White Flag I)..... JR being the only constant in all 3 seasons. Sell now asshole :fyou

Because of all the "hype" and expectations we all had on the Sox before the season, I'd say this season's been nothing short of motherf***ing disappointing. The most disappointing in my Sox fandom was '94, because of the strike; however, this is a close second in my book.

Don't forget 1968. After collasping in the last week of '67 when we were so damn close. The '68 team just sucked. And if I got my facts straight, we traded 1966 ROY Tommie Agee for Tommy Davis, and Davis hit about as well as Konerko is this year. Of course, Agee was a solid CF for the 1969 World Series Champion Mets.

IIRC the Mets had JC Martin, Al Weis and Tommie Agee. All had big moments with the Mets that year.
