  1. I'd love the idea of managing to nab him without giving up Kopech (I am likely Madrigal's #1 supporter here but in this case I'd drive him to the airport, provided we could nab Wong or LaStella in his place). With Lynn gone after this year, we have Kopech/Cease/Crochet all waiting in the wings to prove themselves (with Katz on board). If either, let alone multiple of those guys reach their potential we could be in REALLY good shape with Burnes also aboard. And if only the Sox had the balls to go all out... Bauer, Gio, Lynn(Kopech/Cease/Crochet in 2022), Keuchel, Burnes. With a rotation like that we could all have a commemorative Soxtalk circle jerk.
  2. Since people just accuse me of always being negative... I am all for Corbin Burnes. Consider this a starter thread I'm actually perked up to see.
  3. I think we can agree this is one forum that really doesn't need a swear filter.
  4. Anyone who knows my posts knows that's not me. I'm realistic. I'm merely sad because of what could be but won't.
  5. For the record, I am super on board with Q. I just fall into the camp that is disappointed the Sox apparently aren't in on Bauer to really bolster things. If Q is our only additional starter from this point this offseason then I worry about our chances in the playoffs. As far as playing for the division, I feel fairly comfortable about their chances, but as others have said, we shouldn't be aiming to be the Twins.
  6. "Vitriol with every post" is hyperbole. They essentially made 2 moves. One I was happy for, the other I was not. I had reasons, which I provided. If that is not good enough for you, I'm sorry. But I'm not going to inject fake optimism or refrain from JUSTIFIED criticisms (most that many others are making) to make you feel better. There ARE legitimate reasons to be mad with the FO and there's no reason people can't be fans of other teams as well. So yes, your post was knee-jerk. If you want to ignore me, I don't think you need to post just to make an announcement for attention. Just do it.
  7. How many times have we said that before? Either way, that's irrelevant. The Sox still need a little more depth, another starter and we currently don't necessarily have a DH. We ARE aiming higher than just making the playoffs, right? If your knee-jerk reaction is to immediately put someone on ignore simply because of an opinion without even looking for context then you have an issue. There is little more absurd to me than having your fandom questioned because you criticize elements on the team. It's ridiculous.
  8. I'm sure we can work Brett Favre into this thread to get some more jokes in. "Wanna see my Adrian Penison? My Peyton Manthing? My Danny Woodhead?"
  9. The way the team currently looks, IMO they can't afford to not make some further moves.
  10. Are you insinuating there is something wrong with being angry at our ownership? Or being a fan of multiple teams? Perhaps you misunderstood me.
  11. I'm so used to disappointment as a fan of the Sox that it barely makes me upset anymore. It's expected. I just wish they wouldn't send signals like they are going to be different and insult our intelligence.
  12. Why hate them when you can hate our ownership instead? I might become a fan of the Padres. Love what they are doing right now.
  13. I am officially adopting the Padres as my 3rd favorite team and becoming a fan if that insanity were to happen.
  14. Why? We should be aiming higher.
  15. Tim Anderson at catcher would like to have a word with you.
  16. I believe someone here once suggested limiting of times catcher can appeal a home plate no-call. I say yes please to that.
  17. "Being active" doesn't automatically mean solving our problems or even making the right moves. Using that as proof JR is doing a good job is silly.
  18. Looks like Hector is getting jealous of all the food attention here now. Sorry, Hector. We're burger and beef people now.
  19. Really weird how a large part of any forum, including this one, is constant arguing, yet I get my own specific shout-outs for it. I feel so honored!
