Cleveland probably had more victories against the Sox back then than this entire regular season.

greg775 Posted Wednesday at 06:18 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 06:18 AM I just watched the highlights of the win. Fans booed the Sox off the field after winning. I think that's a little harsh but I understand the sentiment. Still seemed a little weird to boo a victory. I want the team to stay in the 30s for wins but if they must win they must win. It's still our team like it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still our team like it or not. It is weird to boo a win. But it might be good for the team to realize how angry the fans are. I know it is impossible, but I want the team to win out the schedule and not set a new and dubious record. But the trouble is that lineup is not a major league lineup. Now, that's a reason to boo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and that's our lineup for next year. Maybe they'll give up on Sheets and Vaughn but can you imagine the old whiff kings that will replace those young whiff kings? They'll find some former sluggers who will play the HR or K game each at bat if they get rid of Sheets and Vaughn. p.s. who will pitch Opening Day with Crochet being dealt? Our rotation should be the team's downfall next. year combined with inconsistent relievers. Edited Wednesday at 07:36 PM by greg775 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the non-existant defense you are afraid of losing, or the way below league average hitting for their position? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very least, I’m nowhere near as down on that front as the rest of the club.

I'm just saying to replace Vaughn and Sheets, which is fine, we'll pick up some 35-year-old slugger/stiffs/DH types to fill their roles.

Rowdy Tellez now on that FA market...$200 poorer thanks to the spendthrift Pirates. Let's sign him and Kyle Hendriks and just call it a productive offseason. Maybe change of scenery trade for CJ Abrams since we still lack a true SS in the system. So three Soxish moves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
