greg775 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Do you think some of us are too hard on the Sox or do you agree they do some maddening things? I mean isn't it kind of nonsensical to drop so many games to the team you have to beat out? If the Sox threw a win or two in there against Detroit it wouldn't be so f***ing maddening. Or do you think fans like me are way out of line and we should be thrilled we're in the race at all. I just don't understand sometimes why the team is so dysfunctional. Is it asking too much to win the first game of a huge series once in a while, etc?? Educate me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the most annoying s*** about the all the negative posts...I'm fine if you wanna rip them for something they've already done but the "He'll give it right back" "oh no here comes Matt, game over" "this is not a good game to watch. It's gonna be all Detroit" is just sooooo effing annoying and it makes this board look like its full of trolls..... Until they're actually out of it how bout we just sit back relax and strap it down folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want them to win. But I can't ignore what I'm seeing and think they're in a good position going into this last month. Go Sox, but the baseball observer in me thinks they maxed out on what they could for 5 months, and now the better team in a crappy division is going to play better over the next 30 games. If that makes me a troll, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 All year long the elephants feared the mice. Well, they can have it all to themselves with a sigh of relief.... There's only one thing I wanted outside of winning it -- make every one of them sweat until the last minute.

claydude14 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Moved into a new place this week, and haven't been able to see a full game this series. I'll be damned if I will let losing the first two and the threat of Verlander from dampening my spirits of seeing a White Sox winner tonight. JUST WIN!

I wish we could ignore the history of choke jobs bot few do. Braves, Bills, Viking fans have went through these same emotions. What about Ranger fans? When was the last time a team lost back to back WS? Even if it ends disappointing, I can't see Kenny or J.R. letting down fans after having a taste of winning. Both of them have a competitive nature. We are use to having major disappointment at the end of July and early August. It's Sept. and they are still in first. Kenny may have his mojo back and could bring excitement for us in 2013.

If that makes me a troll, sorry. I guess, if you wanna raise your blood pressure over something that hasn't happened yet thats all on you guys. What I'm seeing is a team that went in to Det and played a team thats 19-6 at home yet the Sox are still there in first place with them coming into Chicago for 4 games....I'm not gonna panic until after that series, IMO it's pretty silly to panic now...But thats me.

Maybe the Sox are actually looking at splits? What have Viciedo & Beckham done recently that makes it a tragedy to sit them in this game anyway?
