The Gambler goes down. He gambled and lost. That guys a douchebag. Where the hell did Detoit get so many good pitchers.

QUOTE(JohnCangelosi @ Mar 30, 2007 -> 01:33 PM) I agree 100%. We heard the SAME exact thing about Bobby's velocity last year in ST. God, the negativity in this forum is absolutely insane! I just joined, but I could only IMAGINE what people were saying when Cleveland was on our tail late in the season 05. My guess is a majority poll of people here would say they were going to miss the playoffs entirely... everyone freaks out easily around here. Sox lose like 2 games in a row and they want KW head. Oh and Pods and Erstad are the devil.

QUOTE(Beltin @ Mar 30, 2007 -> 01:19 PM) Maybe you should quit this site and go to the Hawk Harrelson chat room for a pep talk. Theres a Hawk Harrelson chat room? Dont Tease.

just as it has the lack of talent to lose 85-95 games. please tell me your joking?

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Mar 30, 2007 -> 01:04 PM) So is the whole strawman that you try to make anyone who isn't optimistic about this team out to be. There's a "we suck" vibe because a lot of people are legitimately concerned about how this team is going to be able to perform this year. concern's are one thing. Every team has concerns. Take a look at our division rivals. They all have concerns. The Indians have Cliff Lee and CC banged up. The tigers have Kenny Rodgers banged up. The Twins lost one pitcher to retirement and another to Tommy John surgery. The Indians lost probably there best relief pitcher to retirement. There closer is Joe Borowski for christ sake. Are you worried cause are pitchers have had a bad spring? Lots of pitcher some cy young winners have had bad springs. Spring training is not about ERA's and strikeouts. Remember this team in the past two years has won more games than any other team in MLB. More than the Yankees, Red Sox, Indians, Cardinals. Stop acting like all the sudden this team is gonna be the next Expos. Everyone should be Optimistic. Its spring, baseball is starting. Its supposed to be fun. Everyone around here is acting like the team has already lost. Its depressing.

1st place. book it.

Scott Miller dosen't know his head from his ass.

I honestly don't see this team winning a game this year. The team should just cancel the year. Why are we even on here, close the boards. Sell you Sox gear. The team will be shut down. The world is ending!!!!!!!! Honestly this whole "we suck" vibe is gettin old and boring.

are we gonna do the whole Jenks velocity thing again this year. Yeah we know Pods and Erstad are the two worst hitters ever and this team is gonna win 60 games. Heard it all before.

If we go by spring records than I'm guessig the Rockies will win the World Series with no problem.

At least he's not already giving up on a season that hasnt started and not whinning about problems that every team in MLB is going through.

Michael Myers. I hope he dosent try and stab someone. How's Honel doing?

Its good to see that everyone is excited about the upcoming baseball season. I can't believe how much people are already giving up on a season that hasnt even started. its f***ing bulls***.

Its spring training you never can tell. I try not to take into much the "all our players suck and we wont win a game" attitude that is going around.

Danks is a radical last name.

I think some people would be happy if MLB was just the Red Sox and Yankees. They could play each other every day. So national sports writers could sit at home with giant boners.

I don't think Floyd is ever gonna be ready.

Jamie Moyer is my favorite flame tosser.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Mar 26, 2007 -> 02:19 PM) So...aside from Alomar and Widger...does anyone have any other ideas for someone who might be available? Javy Lopez did just come to mind, I believe he was released by the Rockies. He was able to put up a .270 .293 .404 .697 against lefties last year. I think if your looking for some offense against lefties. hes gotta be the guy.

what is Aj's career batting average against lefties?

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Mar 26, 2007 -> 02:05 PM) This isn't the X-Box or PS3. Hall would never be used at 1B all season so why throw him out there now? Because we don't have a 100 % back up first baseman. I think it was worth giving Hall a look at. It sucks he got hurt but im not blaming anyone for it. I'm sure hes not either.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Mar 26, 2007 -> 02:00 PM) yeah, we should blame the other guy who filled out the lineup card. oh wait, that's not possible. Maybe he should wrap all his players in bubble wrap so they never get hurt. Its baseball, Its a sport. Players get hurt in all different ways. You cant blame a coach for playing his players.

Hall was a great add, but we have a great catcher who will go and catch every game if he has to. Could have been worse. It could have been Konerko.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Mar 26, 2007 -> 01:49 PM) What exactly is Makowiak's role on this team? new back up catcher

I blame Jesus.
