southsideirish Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Ok screw the money part...these are the quotes that hit me the hardest.... "I don't think we have an obligation to get out if we want to run it the way we want to run it," said Einhorn, who heard suggestions to the contrary from fans during SoxFest. "I don't think the fans have suffered, because there's no guarantee that you're going to win by spending money. I think you do have an obligation to get out. We have suffered...Mediocre is not acceptable. Since 1959 we have been involved in the ALCS twice. TWICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and this is competitive??? No there isn't a guarantee the sox will win by spending money, but there is a better chance. We all know there are no guarantees in life, but getting better players gives you a better opportunity to win. That Einhorn quote explains just how backwards their logic is....and it pisses me off that they don't see it. That is liike going to a gay bar to pick up chicks and offering your reason as "well there's no gurantees that I'd pick one up at a straight bar" So you go to a place where it's nearly impossible?? That's what the sox have done....we are at a place where it's almost impossible for us to win. Yeah it can be done...I mean the sun shines on a dogs ass now and then, but chances are it ain't gonna happen. We are not put in a position for it too happen. "We've been competitive. Sometimes we're not as competitive as we want to be, but we've been competitive over the years. "When you're in it this long — we're like the third-oldest ownership in baseball — you're going to take a lot of hits along the way because it's hard to win." We haven't been competitive. See above rant. We won he division 3 times since 59. How is that competitive? When I played sports competitive wasn't good enough for me. If you're overmatched, then yeah it feels good to hang and be competitive. So is that we Einhorn is saying. We are overmatched and we should feel good as fans because we are competitive?? And the way I see it is, when you're in it this long we have had even more of a chance to win. "You're relating that to something that I don't know is true anymore," Einhorn said. "It helps to have more. But I don't know that just having it guarantees you're going to win. I think that's what people need to understand. Again with this guarantee s***...We know it doesn't guarantee anything..but it lets us get excited about the chance. It gives us a better opportunity to win. That whole article makes me want to :puke Cause I know this is the sentiment all the way from the top. New sox slogan "2004 Being competive for you" Sorry for the Rant!!!!
