April 17, 201115 yr QUOTE (YASNY @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 03:17 PM) To be honest, I didn't even think beyond the organization because of JR's loyalty factor. I agree that Cora wouldn't be a philosophy change, but he's not nearly as gregarious as Ozzie, which at this point might be a plus. But, for the philosophy reason, I looked for someone else. Hence, Bell. The question is, if the Sox tank for the next few months, does JR get fed up and want a fresh start and want some new blood in?
April 18, 201115 yr Not a bad gut feeling, Yasny. I think this homestand was a disaster. Tampa figures to win 3-of-4 minimum which would guarantee us a horrid start.

April 18, 201115 yr Catch all item: Who puts the little funny comment under our names. Mine is ad nauseum which is starting to make me nauseous. Can't I change it to Rock Star or something?

April 18, 201115 yr QUOTE (DirtySox @ Apr 18, 2011 -> 07:59 AM) Not even close. At least Rock Star or something is kind of funny. Some choices Bob Jenks Lover Ozzie Apologist Rongey Fan Club Wrigley Smells Jon Garland Lover Joe Crede Fan Club Don Kessenger was Once Our Player/Manager
April 18, 201115 yr Alright. I'll go with one of them. You can tell me if you want something different later.
April 18, 201115 yr QUOTE (since56 @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 08:51 AM) Putz and Jenks don't look so bad now. We went hard after Putz. He chased the money and a place that was closer to home. We were never going to get him. i don't think this is a legitimate point to harp on. And Jenks.... Jenks just sucks.

He wore out his welcome here. People on this board would have gone ape s*** on K. Williams for bringing back Jenks the minute he blew a save here. I'm not worried about the bullpen situation - yet. Hopefully they'll get it figured out. I just don't know if it'll be Thornton.

With his injury history, I don't think there were many in favor of giving him a multi-year deal IIRC. It feels like revisionist history for both Putz and Jenks.
April 18, 201115 yr Cheaper to buy tix on stubhub or just wait and scalp at the game? Looking to go April 30th and don't want to sit in the upper deck. Bleachers will probably be fine as Ill likely be very drunk. Thanks in advance.

Looking to go April 30th and don't want to sit in the upper deck. Bleachers will probably be fine as Ill likely be very drunk. Thanks in advance. The cheapest thing is if you can find a discount code for TicketBastard. The next cheapest is to wait until the last day on Stubhub.
April 18, 201115 yr QUOTE (He_Gawn @ Apr 18, 2011 -> 01:40 PM) Thanks! Where would I find these discount codes? Haha There is a thread in the Ticket exchange that has codes for a lot of games. I use them all the time.
