Sorry all those rooting for the higher draft pick. If you want the Sox to suck the rest of the way why is it I see so many comments about how bad the Sox suck at everything, Wouldn't you be cheering when the Sox screw up ?

Winning isn't everything; it's the only thing. Draft picks are too volatile to care about. Give me signings of foreign players and give me free agents (with a front office that can actually project ability instead of signing low impact guys like Dunn, LaRoche and Melky (no power).

for me, the impression i am getting is, if the sox keep loosing, might as well do it for the draft pick, esp if it is protected top 10.

 

i think, i see for the most part disgruntle fans trying to look at the bright side .

Perhaps for the team but not for your blood pressure, Fathom.

 

If I was going to root for them to lose I think I would have to simply avoid watching.

 

At this point, by no means am I mad if they win. That's usually only last two weeks if they are eliminated

draft picks is like a shot in the dark. all org hopes for the best. look at hawkins, look jace fry injured, 2nd tommy john surgery, and look brett austin, was a junior when drafted and imo has an extreme long shot to make it.

 

hard facts,

Excellent post. I hate the team I root for to be a laughingstock and out of it so early in the season so I root for all wins in the hope someday we can compete with Central Division teams again.

i posted this comment once before in the game thread this season. i get pissed at the sox if they even lose 1 game. i want them to go undefeated..... now is that a reasonable expectation????

 

i drink my sox kool aid. all the freaking time.

 

when the sox season ends, so does mine for watching baseball. i do not cheer for any other team come playoff time.

 

but i do follow the draft closely.

Yawn. They'll draft another pitcher.

true and continue to rebuild this abysmal system that the FO has screwed up.

Hell of a turn there.

damn..... just when i was getting comfortable into cheering for laroche to go to hell and look at what he does.

That's kind of the point I was making. Those that want the higher draft pick want it all. Play good but lose and still get to whine about how bad they suck.

the daily life of a sox fan.

God knows we can't develop a hitter. We can with pitching.

Another great outing from Jones tonight.

Also, LaRoche still sucks.

How about that!

The good Sox showed up tonight. Still not quite ready to hit 10 under .500. They gonna keep playing the win a few lose a few to make sure they are good n relaxed at 7-8 under? We shall see.

Wooo

Good for the soul to finally win one in Anaheim.

 

Doesn't really matter if you root for them to win a "useless game" or suck for a higher draft pick, since we can't influence the outcome of a game anyway. When the management decides to spend an incredible amount of money on a washed-up rag like LaRoche, this train ain't going anywhere this or the next season.

But how is it possible that we haven't a single guy in the farm-system who occasionally can play 1st base and swing a bat better than LaRoche for a lot less money?
