Texsox Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Perhaps we could agree on a few topics that have been beat into the ground and where we are just left with "I told you so" posts. Then maybe lay off them for a while? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Let me catch my breath here before we start going... Fields Vs Crede JR is cheap Ozzie is a terrible in game manager Kenny Williams is a terrible GM The farm system sucks Juan Uribe Ozzie needs to be quiet The Cubs are good The Tigers will be back The Indians will win the division Orlando Cabrera Don't bring back Jim Thome Bringing up the prospect of the day Ozzie hates Brian Anderson Hillary vs Obama vs McCain MBINAA 2007 vs 2008 offense the status of players who were on the 2005 team affecting their status today Bobby Jenks velocity vs breaking stuff Mike MacDougal Chris Young vs Javy Vazquez other traded off prospects Why didn't we trade [insertplayer] (in hindsite) Cheap in the draft Scott Boras Jay Mariotti random baseball team rankings Newsreporters bias against the Sox/for the Cubs I am sure I missed some good ones...

lostfan Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Was the "Brian Anderson sucks/no he doesn't" thing beaten as heavily into the ground here as it was at WSI, and pretty much everywhere else that large groups of Sox fans gather on the net? If it was I'm glad to see it's finally abated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 Just for SS, the Ultimate Soxtalk Post I am getting most of this from the Cubune and Moronitti's column, this falls on that idiot KW and the terrible farm system we have, but if JR wasn't so cheap, Oz knew how to use him, and Bora$$ wasn't such an indiot, we'd have signed Crede in 2005 and traded Fields for a decent starting pitcher, since we all knew that Buerhle (he's NOT an ace) was going to suck and Jenks losing velocity was going to happen. Thankfully we have Broadway in the wings who we should bring up right away, before we trade him away for another version of Alomar. Plus we always go cheap in the draft, then turn over decent hitters to Walker to f*** with. Look at the rankings, The Indians and Tigers are going to be fighting for this division, while we watch the Cubs pop champagne corks. Meanwhile we'll be treated to Ozzie saying embrassing s***, Uribe's suckiness, and watch Brian Anderson sit on the end of the bench because he was born to the wrong parents and Oz hates him. Then Thome gets slammed but guys who played in 2005 get a pass. The real comparison should be 2008 to 2007, but instead it's 2005. Shall we start with all the great prospects we let slip through our fingers? Perhaps Chris f***ing Young? We really should dump Crede and Thome and try to get him back? But maybe we could cut some salaries and put some McCain style economics in place here instead of the spend, spend, spend, crap of Clinton or Obama.

bjm676 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 SS2k5 summed it up pretty well. I especially like the "Why did we trade Chris Young" posts and the love/hate postings of Brian Anderson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
