A real baseball team would have never hired Ventura 5 years ago.

 

A real baseball team would have never given him an extension.

 

A real baseball team would make a change in the middle of another under performing season.

 

A losing homestand should give Renteria the job. Period.

 

Ventura didn't even want the job.....

The day team goes below .500 Ventura has to go.

As the Hawkaroo says "when you're goin bad, you're goin bad and this type of inning will happen."

At what point do you finally admit that this manager is incapable of pulling an overall decent team out of a death spiral?

 

LOL at Flavum.

 

We keep making more and more reasonable requests for things that SHOULD happen to get Ventura fired.

 

It's almost like Hahn knows the noose around his neck gets all that much tighter once Robin's gone.

I haven't done this is a long time, but I'm officially turning off the game. Our aces can't even beat under .500 teams, so f*** IT ALL.

 

Fire Robin, Fire Steverson, fire someone. I want f***ing blood. This is a brutal trainwreck.

 

I've watched 2 minutes of the last two games, and it's been quite relaxing. Of course, I saw Martinez hit a 2 run homer and that was enough for me. I truly hated watching this team play the last month, so it's been a nice change. Hopefully they start playing well and make me want to watch them again.

That's true too. He had to be convinced to take it. Like what the flying f***.

Exactly. It's f***ing weird how he's still there. Other than an 80-year-old owner just wants things nice and calm.

Truth is Ventura should of been canned after year 3 by any other club not owned by JR!

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jun 5, 2016 -> 01:17 PM)
Cooper should go before Steverson.

 

 

And that will never happen in a million years.

 

The fact that it will never happen says all you need to know about the dysfunction, where he basically has a lifetime tenured position now.

That's a fact. Not even up for debate.

If you want to get the core, Williams and Hahn should be fired....they hired and extended Ventura and Cooper. and they put together this bunch.

Yeah, that's why it's so unfortunate.

A 4 run deficit seems like a 100 run deficit nowadays. /vomit

I still don't know how much Hahn is hamstrung by Kenny and Jerry. Maybe Hahn does suck too, but I'd certainly like to see what Hahn can do without Kenny there.

The media will be back on the Ventura Death Watch again this week. Wouldn't be too enjoyable working in that marketing or ticket office the last month. Crickets.

 

Sox supposedly sell 100,000 more tickets...poof.

They're done guys

Under Reinsdorf's decree. Don't lose sight of that salient fact. The bad decisioning of this organization begins with him.

Blame the aces all you want, but the offense f***ing sucks. Quintana would have had to have a PG shutout today, or else. F***ing sad.

Can't wait to attend the game on Wednesday and again on the 15th. :ph34r:

Why do Sox have to be down 4 runs to score?

Edited by Soxfest

This is laughable. Literally the only way that they can score is a lucky single by Garcia or some HR's by Abreu and Frazier.

mental.

At this point, hopefully Danaerys' dragons descend on USCF and completely destroy the grass to the point where not even Roger Bossard can make it playable for Tuesday.

 

 

Frazier and Eaton continuing to stand out individually...at least.

 

 

We're going to look bad when they come back and win this. :P

Aside from Eaton's defense, he's been pretty damn miserable lately.
