Jack Parkman

If he's healthy, that's a no brainer. You can't get a talent like that outside of the top 10.

What, you think Rocker will still be available at 26?

I've been thinking about this post a lot since last night. I've asked myself the question: What does it mean to be a fan? I can't answer it other than someone who follows a sports team closely. there must be some greater social covenant here that I'm not grasping.

You have to remember that Sale has been healthy for exactly 1.5 seasons since that trade. Sox did fine.

If that's the case, he won't be there when the Sox pick.

I overanalyze everything, it gets in the way of a lot of this stuff. I wish I would have kept these things to myself, or at least had gone about it in a more diplomatic/less blunt way.

Shit man, if I could stop I would. God knows I've tried.

I don't have bad feelings. Just reading this thread and discussing it made some of the good vibes return. I was replaying Pods HR, Konerko's grand slam, AJP stealing first and Crede hitting the double to win, El Duque's magic trick against Boston in my head. I was probably too blunt and honest about my feelings, but the fact that there were zero HOFers on that team outside of Frank's three weeks right before the ASB, the amount of one hit wonders and the fact that there was no success with that group before or after 2005 diminishes the team for me, but that's looking at it from the perspective of a neutral baseball historian, rather than as a fan of the Sox. The memories are as vivid as when they happened. Sometimes I try to put myself in the position of a neutral observer. All of these things make the season feel fake. I know it happened, but it doesn't feel real anymore.

August and September 2005 were anything but fun when Cleveland was playing .800 ball. October was fun as hell.

Idk. The more time that goes by, the less I appreciate them.

Hey, 6 runs was enough. ?

Haven't been watching a lot recently. Was unaware Bummer has found it again.

Now get some fucking runs.

I don't want the Sox to trade developing talent to supplement a team incapable of making a run. They should be trading guys away, not adding.

Don't worry, Bummer will fuck it up.

I don't want to hear about 2005 anymore. It was 17 years ago, old news. Let's not turn the 2005 Sox into the 1985 Bears.

Fuck this entire team. Blow it up. Make sure you fire Hahn first.

OMG.......

Jesus......

That's such a dumb play.

Idk why anyone would throw a lefty against the Sox unless it was someone like McClanahan. Sox haven't done anything since Yarborough left the game.

That's where he's been all year.
