WSoxShuf Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 I think us Sox fans are complete idiots. We are not going to get anyone decent his offseason. Face it, we are nothing but cutting our expenses. The Sox have no f***in Future. Keep this post around and b****, i will eat crow opening day if we get anyone f***in decent. I hate being a sox fan sometimes. f*** you sox management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFanForever Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Lol, it isn't bad. You aren't the only one who is frustrated with the organization. I understand where you are coming from. Just try to relax until the winter meetings are over and see if we do anything. If we are completely silent and nothing happens in the next few weeks then you can destroy them all you want.

BridgeportHeather Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Remember, Hawk promised us that KW was gonna make a "mind blowing trade." Any day, KW... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Now that we know who is gone, KW will start putting a team together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFanForever Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 I'm not expecting a ton from KW so anything good would be a pleasant surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Honda Civic Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Ah... I sense that this could be a classic post... always retuning on every sox winning or losing streak... or if we sign a player, make a trade, don't make a trade... Today has been a pretty negative day around this board. I don't know why?? WE AREN'T THE YANKEES. WE CAN NOT BUY THE WORLD SERIES. Which the Yankees have shown, the past 3 years, is more difficult than it seems. The last two World Champions have had relatively low payrolls. The twins continually whip are buts with low-payroll teams. Oakland has made the playoffs the last 4 years with almost the lowest payroll in baseball. The Mets, Dodgers, and Rangers all spent over $100 MIL to play golf in October. Baseball requires a shrewd GM more than any other sport. No one will out spend the yankees. Boston may try, but NY will counter. It's dumb to even try. The only hope is to outsmart them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSoxShuf Posted December 9, 2003 Author Share Posted December 9, 2003 No, patience is not a f***in virtue. If we bring in John Thompson as the replacement I gonna crap my pants. Jerry is saying, f*** you fans, I do not care for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxrd5 Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 I am beginning to agree...if things dont start falling into place soon...I just I just dont know................................................ And I blame the poor offseason up to this point all on the picking up of the Jose Valentin club option...5 million well spent Heres to hope i dont need to rant more on Jose...

WSoxShuf Posted December 9, 2003 Author Share Posted December 9, 2003 Jose Valentin is fine. what the f*** am I talking about he sucks. We may as well be the f***in Chicago Brewers. f*** you JR, f*** you JR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sox-r-us Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 If the Sox fans would fill the stadium, even during losing seasons, like the Cub fans do, then they would have a 90mill payroll like the cubs too Face it, we are responsible for our team not having the resources....it is very simple economics. It will improve once the new deal with USCellular revenues help the Sox and hopefully, once the stadium gets more fan friendly with the reconstruction. Also, the Comcast deal may help the Sox out...but until then, hope and pray I am sure we can win our weak ass division without spending too much right now with who we have signed. If we can get Guadardo from the Twinks, that will be awesome. I think you will see more moves by the Sox at the trade deadline since those deals do not cost much $.

DBAHO Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 There's gonna be a few suprises comin in the next week. The winter meetings r comin up in New Orleans, sumthin's bound to happen there. If da Dodgers can't get any1 betta than Konerko I think they'll still make that trade, they're just a bit cautious rite now. Eddie Guardado bein offered a contract was one move out of left field that I certainly didn't see comin. Could this mean Marte could be a starter now?

Cali Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Dude, if you don't like what the Sox are doing then leave. It's pretty pointless to b**** about it on a message board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Rector Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Why all the negativity? Other than Graffanino, who apparently has delusions about being able to play well on a daily basis, the other guys who aren't coming back to the team were basically rent-a-players. So, the team's core is still in place. Now, if the departing players included the likes of Frank, Buehrle or Marte, then there really would be grounds for alarm.

ApplingsRevenge Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 I agree with DBAHO. The winter meetings haven't started yet. Most of us thought we wouldn't resign most of these guys anyway (although I was hoping we'd bring back Colon). I like to look at the glass as half-full as a result of losing Colon. We may keep Ordonez and still make a move for a starter. If nothing else, KW is aggressive and will not sit on what we have. The price is my concern. We still have options: Perez, Millwood, Ponson, anyone else out of the blue.....if no significant moves are made after the winter meetings, start panicking. Until then, I prefer to speculate.

As for Buehrle, Marte, and anyone else who succeeds, leaving the Sox is just a matter of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
