If every single one of us all ever agreed on 1 thing beside I want us to win the World Series I'd think there was some kind of mind control device.

Fedde awesome. 3 in a row. High point of season maybe

Yes it does but he sounds happy. Maybe he is just that kind of announcer where it just isn't a gimmick. Sometimes cheerleaders are important too. I'm not too worried that some might not think it's professional. I just think the majority of fans will like him and hatea's gone hate. ?

It makes me smile or laugh when he says South side stand up. It's infectious not cringe at all. We all need to lighten up.

Never a doubt

That strike 2 call on Ortega was brutal. Changed the complexion of the AB and maybe the inning.

10 D the RBI machine.

The Fed !

There are people here who really want the team to win more despite a majority who want to gawk at the train wreck. It's harmless banter moreso than calling out the haters. Both sides know the team sucks but some still root for the Sox to win while others are wishing for losses. To those still cheering for victories and the players it's hard for us to imagine calling the Sox your favorite team while wishing it all gets blown up all the time. A decent amount of people showed up yesterday cheering the Sox on. I like those people who can disregard everything bad and treat going to a game with friends and family as entertainment . Die hards are great but less than diehard fans ( women, kids) just like having a fun time at the ballpark. Here it's like all booing all the time. Ignorance is bliss.

No matter how you slice it there are going to be overused,tired and very bad relievers on a very bad team. TB was hovering around .500 and they have the same problems with their BP. It's getting to the point that having 2 guys in the bullpen capable of pitching 2 + innings is extremely helpful but also seems hard to find guys who can do that Most managers do not want a SP to go through a lineup 3 times . Every team goes through using their worst relievers a couple times a week. Some times SP just have to wear it and stay in while they are getting pounded just to preserve the pen.

?

South side stand up !! 6 RBI for 10D !!

2 in a row !

Winds of change

Very nice Sheets

If I could give you all the positive emojis at once I would have.

We don't know anything for sure like you said was the point. We all want our opinions validated about how we feel initially in any trade. You're talking about theoretical scouting department misses on Fletcher and DeLoach but if Mena's reason for being traded also turns out to be correct it becomes a push. We all know scouting and development of baseball players is much harder than in other sports. We also know not to give the Sox the benefit of the doubt too. So declaring advanced knowledge that a trade was horrible or great when it involves players at different levels of development isnt justified until there are actual reasons . How would we evaluate the trade of Sale at the time it happened compared to now ?

You have an incredibly inaccurate memory when it comes to slandering me. I just asked that people don't decide within a couple of months who won a trade of 2 young players and snopek agreed while commenting about internet points which I don't think was a veiled shot at me. And you respond by making fun of me without showing any proof that my attitude about Mercedes was an "I told you so moment" . I've been that way on other topics for sure because I believe that if you have to take massive amounts of s%*# for your opinions that end up being right, you're entitled to give some s%*# back. But noo you're allowed to give out s%*# any time you please and but God forbid you ever tell anyone you were right and they were wrong. But about Mercedes just find one full post of mine not taken out of context where I denigrated someone else about him or said he'd be a good player for a long time. In the beginning I'd ask why no one ever talked about him in future Sox because I saw that he always seemed to be able to hit.I was just making an inquiry about a player that I knew nothing about. It was pretty easy to surmise that he must be a lousy fielder if he's old for the levels he was playing at and his hitting could also be a result of that. But he eventually got brought up and had a fun run. Was I proud that he made it to the big leagues and I was the guy who started talking about him early ? Sure it's like watching a relative like a nephew that you may not know so well start doing good and telling more relatives about him. But it wasn't like I scouted him and knew he'd make it to MLB. Just because I don't automatically agree with the majority and dare voice a minority opinion is not a reason to to go all Wolf pack on someone, tearing them to shreds . Soxtalk can be a cruel place with a bunch of keyboard warriors who could give a rats ass when they attack someone without proof and using hearsay and innuendo, taking things out of context or using their own hurt feelings to justify their assault or worse yet because the rest of the pack is attacking so I feel fine doing it too. I love mob rules culture.

Would be nice if people ever let trades marinate for a while. If it turns out its a minor leaguer for a minor leaguer it just makes the trade a push. But as of right now we have no idea how Mena's or Fletcher's career will go.

It was time. Next up is an 8 game losing streak before another win. # Living In a Simulation

Winning makes the thread much shorter. No lining up to laugh at the dead bodies.
