QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 09:32 PM) There is legitimate cause for concern here, but this series/game/inning is not going to be my impetus to hang it up. I've seen too much to the contrary...I'm going to let us get into a hole and play poorly somewhere other than Comerica Park before I lose my mind. Our team is relevant again and I like knowing that the expectation for next season will remain making the playoffs instead of just developing prospects or something like that. Well said.

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 09:26 PM) I think the team is pressing Jake I never thought I would be joining your side with the optimists. But here I am.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 09:25 PM) What's the board gonna be like tomorrow night when a tired DET team loses at noon to CLE and the Sox beat MIN at home? "The season is over but we have a one game lead!!!" It isnt really a surprise that Caesar had a meltdown.

QUOTE (Caesar @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 09:21 PM) If you consider choking away a division and playoff appearance fun, then yep, it's gonna be a f***ing blast. Put a new tampon in and have a cigarette. Youll feel better after that.

Well gentlemen its going to a fun few weeks.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 09:17 PM) Who's giving up on the season? It's possible Detroit will revert back to s*** and we'll continue playing the percentage baseball we've played all year. I hope you are kidding; please be kidding. You think if one of our hitters got plunked he'd be on some roll against the team that plunked him? Blaming our former manager I assume u are kidding. Look at the last few pages Greg.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 09:14 PM) They will be the first ones to cheer when the Sox clinch the division and the most foolish when I bring that back up

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 09:13 PM) There's nobody left to trade. They would be pretty foolish to keep Floyd around for $9.5 million next year. Thornton and Crain will get you what exactly? The only asset we have to trade is probably Alexei Ramirez...and that's a dubious move at best unless it nets us Jurickson Profar in return, which will never happen. I suppose they could deal Rios or Dunn, but how would they sell any season tickets for next year...trading Dunn or Rios, letting Floyd go, trading Thornton/Crain, letting YOUK, AJ and Peavy all walk. Good luck on that one, Brooks. Which is why it will never happen. I was talking about before the season actually caulfield. Sorry I forgot to mention that in my previous post :/

*Writes down all the names of people conceding the season with 29 games left*

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 09:09 PM) I couldn't agree more with the fact people shouldn't give up on the season after tonight. Still tied with a lot of home games left. The Sox really couldn't have played worse this week. I said a few days ago, but Ventura's legacy for this season will be reflected by how the team performs the 10 days. They played bad but they have those games to make up for it. If this were it I would be pissed. Fortunately plenty of baseball left.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 09:06 PM) Well, they sure as hell didn't show up this week on the road. Basically everyone has sucked on the roster this week outside of Axelrod and Veal. Yet there is still no point in calling for some of the crap some people on here will. There is still 29 games to go. I still laugh at some people on here( I know who you are) that were calling for a 5-10 year rebuild.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 09:03 PM) seasons not over.... Oh just wait until this game is over. People will be calling for a complete overhaul.

He actually hit that one

Throw a breaking ball and sit his ass down please

QUOTE (Real @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 08:59 PM) lol, cheer up bucko. Im just fine. If this team fails the Bears season starts up next Sunday.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 08:59 PM) It'd be easier to take if we'd just forfeit all games against KC and Detroit, at least the road games against 'em. Wouldn't be as frustrating. Dont watch them then

I dont see why they dont just call our season. Its over guys. No reason to watch the rest of the games.

QUOTE (Real @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 08:56 PM) sale definitely needs to be shut down if we continue losing, he clearly isn't able to keep throwing towards 175-180 innings Thanks broken record.

QUOTE (Caesar @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 08:56 PM) Detroit is just a better and more talented team So give up right?

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 08:50 PM) Just think of all the naps you would be missing with Beckham batting 8th, Morel 9th. I dont expect Gordon to be in the starting lineup next year.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 08:49 PM) Yes, they are this year, but not for 13 million next year. You can sign him to a lesser deal than that. You dont have to pick up that option.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 08:48 PM) Yep, it's a revolutionary way that's going to sweep the majors You understand what Im getting at though right? I think were pretty damn lucky to have Youk.

Finally Paulie

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 08:45 PM) No thanks to either. I don't think Morel's in the plans at all, and Youk's gonna want too much money for someone who seems to be struggling to finish the season healthy. So no 3rd baseman then? Cool
